I got a Brother printer to work by installing both the debian packages from the repos and the deb from Brother's website, but the scanner still isn't being found. Running Wheezy. Would anyone care to tell me what steps they took to get scan functionality on their Brother multifunction printers?
Is this a network printer? Did you configure your scanner client settings with brsaneconfig[1-4]? For example:
http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1b.html?c=nz&lang=en&prod=mfcl2740dw_us_eu_as&redirect=on From my MFC-L2740DW on unstable amd64, I ran: brsaneconfig4 -a name="Brother MFC-L2740DW" model=MFC-L2740DW ip=192.168.1.2 The scanner was then correctly detected in xsane. I am using: brscan-skey-0.2.4-1.amd64.deb brscan4-0.4.3-0.amd64.deb mfcl2740dwcupswrapper-3.2.0-1.i386.deb mfcl2740dwlpr-3.2.0-1.i386.deb Kind regards, -- Ben Caradoc-Davies <b...@transient.nz> Director Transient Software Limited <http://transient.nz/> New Zealand
