[solved] brother usb scanner (mfc-7320)

#1 Post by fourreux »

Hello everybody

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/bs ... d_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

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 147e:2016 Upek Biometric Touchchip/Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0a5c:217f Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth Controller
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 17ef:480f Lenovo Integrated Webcam [R5U877]
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04f9:01eb Brother Industries, Ltd MFC-7320
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

PS:

Code: Select all

Thanks a lot.

In my case I needed to copy:

Code: Select all

# cp /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother3.so* /usr/lib/sane/

libsane-brother3.so
libsane-brother3.so.1.0.7
libsane-brother3.so.1
and

Code: Select all

# cp /usr/lib64/libbrscandec3.so* /usr/lib/

libbrscandec3.so
libbrscandec3.so.1.0.0  
libbrscandec3.so.1
et voila! Was able to scan right away!

Thanks again.
