And that query returns this enlightening report:

[dll] load: searching backend `brother4' in 
`/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane:/usr/lib/sane'
[dll] load: trying to load 
`/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1'
[dll] load: couldn't open 
`/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1' (No such file or 
directory)
[dll] load: trying to load `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1'
[dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1'
[dll] load: dlopen() failed (/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1: wrong 
ELF class: ELFCLASS64)
 Which is a step in the right direction, so it looks as if I need to dl 
the 32 bit version of:

Did that, now the above debug returns this:

[dll] load: searching backend `brother4' in 
`/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane:/usr/lib/sane'
[dll] load: trying to load 
`/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1'
[dll] load: couldn't open 
`/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1' (No such file or

[dll] load: trying to load `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1'
[dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother4.so.1'
[dll] init: initializing backend `brother4'
[dll] init: backend `brother4' is version 1.0.1

And then it goes on to the next available backend.  But that is 
essentially what it does to about 5 other active entries in the 
dll.conf.  So I believe itr to be orogress.

But xsane still cannot find it.  Whats the next tracing command to try?
