Hi Staedtler, did that, and fought with several rules files before to no joy. What You suggest is pretty much the same as what the brother-udev- rule-type1 package does with a 60 sane something rules file, except that in the Brother installer script only the line 'SYMLINK' is active, the rest of the lines are commented out, including permissions, eventually preset for 0666; needless to say that I fiddled with all possible combinations of settings and name/location of the file with no result.

But the scanner is no more recognized. Scanners that are affected are(besides others): - Epson Perfection V10 - Epson Perfection V1000 - Epson WorkForce GT-1500 - Brother MFC-8510DN - Epson Perfection V33 It is to note that the probability that the scanner manufacturers fix things others broke is below 100%.
