brscan4 (as with all of Brother's software) is only available as a
Brother-supplied *deb package. You're not going to find it in public
repos.
Head on over to https://support.brother.com and grab it.
Thanks for your reply.
When I ran linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.4-1 it downloaded:

Unfortunately, although brscan4-0.4.11-1.amd64.deb was installed in
/opt/brother/... , brscan4-0.4.11-1.amd64.deb was not. The installer
script didn't generate any errors.
