When multifunction device Brother MF-5890CN was configured on Ubntu 16.04 using instructions provided by Brother xsane/sane-fine-scanner/scanimage -L are unable to detect the device.
The critical fix to make this work is described here
https://alephnull.uk/content/ubuntu-brother-printer-scanner-network-setup
Then (critical bit) create these links - for some reason the 32 bit and 64 bit compatibility scripts have fallen down here (probably due to the non-standard nature of the Brother deb packages):
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/libbrscandec3.so* /usr/lib
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother3.so* /usr/lib/sane
the directory /usr/lib/sane also didn't existed and must be created before the above links are created
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/sane |

WORKAROUND: Execute at a terminal:
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/sane
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/libbrscandec3.so* /usr/lib
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother3.so* /usr/lib/sane
