Brother printer/scanner: printer works but scanner doesn't.

Post by gilles »

Hello,
I am trying EasyOS Dunfell (frugal install USB).
My printer/scaner is recognised as Brother MFC-7460DN
With CUPS, I installed my printer and I have no problem to print
But when I open xsane, it opens as "xsane 0.999 Video Webcam: Video Webcam:video0" and it uses my webcam instead of scanning the document I want to scan.
Any idea ?
Thank you

Did you try menu "Graphic -> PeasyScan"?

Hello,
Yes, I did it. But it does exactly the same thing : instead of scanning the document, it uses my webcam !
Any idea ?

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
I have installed all these drivers :
brgenml1cupswrapper-3.1.0-1.i386.deb
brother-udev-rule-type1-1.0.2-0.all.deb
cupswrapperMFC7460DN-2.0.4-2.i386.deb

Before, I installed too :
brgenml1pr--3.1.0-1.i386.deb
brscan4-0.4.9-1.i386.deb
mfc7460dnlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb

But, it is still the same : Xsane Image scanner as well as PeasyScan use my webcam instead of scanning.
Any idea ?

Hi, @gilles

Are you using EasyOS 32-bit i686 Dunfell-series version 4.3.5 ?

If so, have a look at:
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf is there an entry with "brother..."?
/opt/brother/scanner are there any entries ?
/root/.packages/brscan4-0.4.10.files present ?

If not so open a terminal and run:
/opt/brother/scanner/brscan4/setupSaneScan4
/opt/brother/scanner/udev-rules/type1/install
