Using a Brother printer/scanner, wireless connection.
I have the same issue with:
Kubuntu 22.04 where Xsane as a Gimp plugin does not work and xscanimage does work. Xsane does work stand-alone. If I run Xsane from a terminal I get an error message along the lines of ...GDK-CRITICAL .... GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable) failed. Maybe this is where Gimp stops.
Start Gimp in a terminal. No errors concerning Xsane. Both plugins installed. Only the xscanimage plugin shows in File -> Create
However using Kubuntu 20.04 both work. So I assume it is the different Debian versions that 'buntu is based on.
I dickered about for some time trying to get Xsane as a Gimp plugin to work with kubuntu 22.04. Copied files to plugins folder instead of symlinks, tried different versions of Xsane from older distro... No avail. It is one reason why I am still using kubuntu 20.04 most of the time.
Edit: Both are Gimp 2.10.36 from PPA (PandaJim)

Quote:Gimp is fixated on "xscanimage" which doesn't exist on the system as far as I've been able to to determinexscanimage comes with the Sane package
