On artful, libsane1 1.0.27-1~experimental2ubuntu2.1, in short: the Epson 4490 Photo scanner doesn't work, the Brother MDC-1910W scanner only works as root; both were fully working on zesty. In details:
Epson 4490 Photo as user
sane-find-scanner detects a bunch of USB devices including the scanner, but has not enough permission
scanimage -l no SANE devices found
iscan, simple-scan, and xsane do not work
Epson 4490 Photo as root
sane-find-scanner ok
scanimage -l no SANE devices found
iscan, simple-scan, and xsane do not work
Brother MFC-1910W as user
sane-find-scanner detects a bunch of USB devices including the scanner, but has not enough permission
scanimage -l no SANE devices found
simple-scan and xsane do not work
Brother MFC-1910W as root
