A single 'q', and all hell took off and bombed my system, leaving only
that which was in memory & running. It did not accept another q, nor a
ctl+c. Bad dog, no dinner.
All the config stuff was left behind I think, yes, I had a heck of a
time for almost a week making xsane see and use the brother mfc drivers,
but with the usual 7 second lag, it works just fine at recognizing the
scanner and its ADF. The 7 second lag is because the brother drivers
are crap and the first 6 access requests it sends to the scanners IP
address have a bad checksum, but eventually it gets its excrement in
one sock and speaks proper tcp to it, after 6 tries at one second
intervals.
There is a similar 7+ second lag starting either firefox or iceweasel
because the home page is localhost:631/printers, and the printer is at
the same address, so I assume the same comm lag.
No, its decoding the name, and here are the bad checksums_(word-wrap off):
tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535

But it does work well after that.
I am back to where its might be safe to reboot, I have now re-
installed 245 packages aptitude ripped out. And cups, which it ripped
out, can now do a test page from firefox looking at
localhost:631/printers/MFCJ6920DW. So I'd say at this point I am 50%
or more restored.
