I have a Brother laser printer - DCP1612W. Yesterday I scanned a couple
of photos and saved them as jpg's. About a half-hour later I got only
an error message each time I ran xsane, and that is still the case.
Printing continues to work as normal.
Details:
Ubuntu 20.04.3
The error message is: "Failed to open device 'brother4:net;dev0':
Invalid argument."
It's configured to connect via WLAN. The IP address appears in the
router list occasionally but usually not.
After: scanimage -L
I get "device `brother4:net1;dev0' is a Brother *DCP1610W DCP1612W", so
the correct model is known about.
In /etc/sane.d/dll.conf I've put in "192.168.0.1/24" but I can't restart
saned: "saned.service is masked."
When I run the Brother file "brscan4-0.4.10-1.amd64.deb" I find it is
already installed, of course.
On the internet I found reference to the file:
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html";, this contains 2
supported Brothers but not mine.
In desperation I pressed the SCAN button on the printer, but no
miracles, just "Check connection".
What did I do in the fateful 30 mins yesterday afternoon!?
Regards,
John
