Trying to get a usb printer working (as many others here, I guess). Normally I would expect that scanner to be supported as brother offers the drivers.
So I downloaded the appropriate drivers brscan3 64bit and scan-key-tool 64bit from http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_scn.html. Followed the install instructions: namely dpkg -i brscan3....amd64.deb and dpkg -i brscan-skey...amd64.deb.
I added the following line to /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules
- Code: Select all
# Brother scanner
22 ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}== "01eb", MODE="0664", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="y es"
Here's my lsusb
- Code: Select all

In my /etc/sane.d/dll.conf there's a line "brother3" that seems to have been added at some point in the process ...
The output of sane-find-scanner is (as root):
- Code: Select all
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x01eb) at libusb:002:004
found USB scanner (vendor=0x147e [UPEK], product=0x2016 [Biometric Coprocessor]) at libusb:001:003
And here's scanimage -L as root
- Code: Select all
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Integrated Camera virtual device
It's recognizing the integrated webcam of my T410 only ....
- Code: Select all
# scanimage -T
scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument
So I found a thread saying that it's about that webcam that is recognized first, and so the scanner will not be installed/recognized properly.
Digging deeper I found out that actually there should be a /dev/scanner0 or the like that should be created. But there isn't (http://linux-sxs.org/hardware/usbsane.html).
And then further on someone said I need the usbdevfs enabled/supported which I have not (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Scanner-HOWTO/#LIBUSB):
- Code: Select all
# cat /proc/filesystems
nodev sysfs
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev cgroup
nodev cpuset
nodev tmpfs
nodev devtmpfs
nodev debugfs
nodev securityfs
nodev sockfs
nodev pipefs
nodev anon_inodefs
nodev devpts
nodev ramfs
nodev hugetlbfs
nodev pstore
nodev mqueue
nodev usbfs
ext4
ext2
nodev rpc_pipefs
nodev nfs
nodev nfs4
nodev nfsd
nodev fuse
fuseblk
nodev fusectl
I'm not quite sure which lead to follow ...
What I also tried was adding the following line to /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:
- Code: Select all
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MO DE="0666"
But I don't think that this changed anything ...
Thanx for any help
