Package: xsane
Version: 0.999-5
Severity: normal
Hello!
Last night, I scanned an image using xsane with my USB-connected
printer without difficulty. This morning, I upgraded some packages
with aptitude, and now I can't do so. Here's what I changed:

========================================
Now, I'm assuming that it is most likely to be something in one of the
cups packages which has caused the problem.
When I start xsane, it offers me two scanners, matching those reported
by scanimage -L:
device `brother4:net1;dev0' is a Brother HomePrinter DCP-9020CDW
device `brother4:bus1;dev3' is a Brother DCP-9020CDW USB scanner
These are the same physical device, but I am trying to use the USB
one. The device is owned by lp:
erdos:~ $ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002/003
crw-rw-r--+ 1 root lp 189, 130 Jun 11 22:29 /dev/bus/usb/002/003
I am a member of the lp and scanner groups:
erdos:~ $ groups
jdg lp [...] scanner [...]
I looked on the internet for ideas, and figured that it might be a
permissions issue. I already have brscan4 and brscan-skey installed:
$ dpkg -l br\*
[...]
ii brscan-skey 0.2.4-1 amd64 Brother Linux scanner S-KEY tool
ii brscan4 0.4.3-3 amd64 Brother Scanner Driver
So I installed the package from Brother brother-udev-rule-type1 which
adds the following:
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-brother-libsane-type1.rules:

========
and as that didn't help (even after rebooting), I added two lines to
the standard libsane rules:
--- /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules~ 2017-05-21 09:04:48.000000000 +0100

/sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/control; elif test -e /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/level;
then echo on > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/level; fi'"
That didn't help either (even after a reboot). xsane starts fine, but
then when attempting to scan, it says:
Failed to start scanner: Invalid argument
Running the scanimage command works fine however:
erdos:~ $ scanimage -d 'brother4:bus1;dev3' -x 210mm -y 297mm > Desktop/out.ppm
scanimage: rounded value of br-x from 210 to 209.981
scanimage: rounded value of br-y from 297 to 296.973
Running chmod as root to change /dev/bus/usb/002/003 to have
permissions 0666 doesn't make a difference to the xsane failure.
So I'm really stumped.
(Incidentally, I can't open the network variant of the printer even
with scanimage, and I have never been able to do so with xsane - I
have no recollection of trying with scanimage before:
erdos:~ $ scanimage -x 210mm -y 297mm > Desktop/out1.ppm
scanimage: open of device brother4:net1;dev0 failed: Invalid argument
That's why I have used a USB connection until this point.)
Do you have any ideas on what might have changed that is invalidating
the USB connection to the scanner from xsane specifically?
Best wishes,
Julian
