In 18.04, have a networked Brother MFC-J870DW, which works fine in gscan2pdf, Simple Scan & Gimp 2.8. However, Gimp 2.10 can't find it. Meaning, there is no scanner listed when I select File > Create. I suspect I need to point Gimp to xsane. Looking for help to do this. Thanks.

You don't need a ppa, just

sudo apt install xsane

As you have installed GIMP as FlatPak I suggest to remove this FlatPak version with

flatpak uninstall flathub org.gimp.GIMP

and then install normal deb-based version 2.8 with

sudo apt-get install gimp

or get 2.10 from PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp
