Can you copy and paste here, or screenshot?
The letter L. The command stands for list.

You can just copy the command into your terminal - provided I do not make a stupid mistakes like I just did 
I figured it out too
Should I install the full package or just the scanner driver?
Go for the full installation. That is what I always do.
I think now you got linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz.
You can then follow the instruction in this page.

But I will give you a bit more simple version.
Go to the file manager and double click on
linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz
This will start Archive manager and extract the installer file
linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1
in your Downloads directory.

linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1 is in my downloads file, but when I open it there is a document with about 3000 lines of code.
You do not need to open it.
You run this script in the terminal.
sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.3.3-1 MFC-J5620DW
Ran it and got this:
hockey_steve@ThinkCentre:~/Downloads$ sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.3.3-1 MFC-J5620DW
[sudo] password for hockey_steve:
bash: linux-brprinter-installer-2.3.3-1: No such file or directory
hockey_steve@ThinkCentre:~/Downloads$
can you copy and paste the output of
ls
hockey_steve@ThinkCentre:~/Downloads$ l
brscan4-0.4.10-1.amd64.deb linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz
What will happen when you double click on this file in your file manager?
It opens a page of lines of code
I am surprised.
It should open Archiver to extract the file.
But we can take care of it later.
Could open your terminal again and go to the working directory?
cd Downloads
then issue this extract command:
gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz
Same result:
hockey_steve@ThinkCentre:~$ cd Downloads
hockey_steve@ThinkCentre:~/Downloads$ gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz
gzip: linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1.gz: No such file or directory
hockey_steve@ThinkCentre:~/Downloads$ ^C

I started to wonder if your downloaded file is somehow not right.
To help you out, I also downloaded the same file and doing the each step one by one.
Make sure to download this deb installer not the rpm installer:
That's the one I downloaded
Could try download it again? If you do not mind.
I found this:
I am sharing this because people mentioned about reinstalling libc6 in the thread....

I downloaded and double clicked the .deb file and it opened with gdebi offering to install it.
You might just avoid the CLI .gz and instead, download each:

Once all are downloaded into your downloads folder,
Open terminal, cd into it
cd ~/Downloads
Then install all at once with
sudo dpkg - *.deb
