Scanner is not recognised by GIMP
#3
Just replied over on gimpusers Wink

Probably you do not have the xsane scanner package installed.

this one http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachme...1485593586

Ah... not with it this morning (if ever) Gimp 2.9.5 Is that from the 'buntu gimp-edge repo?

Scanner option not working here either. Looking into it.

edit: 
Adding xsane should work. It does not show in my 'portable' appimage but in a kubuntu 16.04 virtual machine(VM) with Gimp 2.9.5 installed from the repo, the menu entry is there. (but I do not have the Brother wireless scanner driver installed in this VM)
   

edit again:
Some confirmation that it works. This is my Gimp 2.9.5 portable(appimage) in my laptop. Since I already have xsane installed for a regular Gimp 2.8.18 I copied the xsane plugin to the Gimp 2.9.5 profile plug-ins.

Typical linux utility with several separate windows, I close them  down to these two. Using a Brother J825DW here and a wireless connection. A lot is going to depend on your HP setup. There is a lot about installations on the Mint forums.
