<p>Dear Olaf,<br>
<br>
I followed your instructions and I have the scanner working now after some says of total despair! <strong><span style="background-color:#f1c40f;">Thank you</span></strong> so much, you really made my day! I wish you all the best!<br>
<br>
My regards from Portugal.<br>

<p>Hello!<br>
<br>
I recently upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 and my Brother DCP-150C scanner<br>
isn't working. I have sane-utils installed and I did all the<br>
procedures as stated here:<br>

I took a quick look at those instructions. They include this<br>
<br>
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/libbrscandec*.so* /usr/lib<br>
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/sane<br>
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother*.so* /usr/lib/sane<br>
<br>
but it looks like Ubuntu has dropped /usr/lib/ and nowadays only looks<br>
for libraries in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. See<br>
<br>
<a href="https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/sane-devel/2018-July/036265.html" target="_blank">https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/sane-devel/2018-July/036265.html</a><br>
<br>
You can clean up the result of the instructions above with<br>
<br>
sudo rm /usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother*.so*<br>
sudo rmdir /usr/lib/sane<br>
sudo rm /usr/lib/libbrscandec*.so*<br>
<br>
and instead use<br>
<br>
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/libbrscandec*.so* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu<br>
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane<br>
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother*.so* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane<br>
<br>
This is all untested but I think this will fix things for you.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
