Hello
I have just installed the Brother mfc1910w Printer Scanner on Antix linux but this should work for other Debian based distros.
Compared to a simple "apt install xxx" this was much more difficult.
Here's what did it for me, hope this might be helpful:
=== on the mfc1910w use the menu keys to set an ip-address to fit your LAN.

-in your terminal-
1.sudo apt install cups cups-client cups-filters cups-ipp-utils
2.sudo apt install avahi-daemon
3.download "linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz" from
https://support.brother.com/g/b/down...ng=4&type3=625
4.sudo su
5.gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz
6.bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1 MFC-1910w
The driver installation will start. Follow the installation screen directions.
*When you see the message "Will you specify the DeviceURI ?",
*For Network Users: Choose Y(Yes) and DeviceURI number. (Uniform Resource Identifier)
eg. "ipp://printer.example.com/printers/office-printer"
eg. "ipp://192.168.1.14/printers/your-printer-name"
The install process may take some time. Please wait until it is complete.
7. open a browser and go the URL localhost:631/admin
8. Administration/add new printer
Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)
- ipp://ip_address/ipp/
