I'm working on a Nix expression to install a proprietary scanner driver that is available as a Debian package. After using `nix-env' to install the package I'm still not able to see my scanner in the list produced by `scanimage -L' or `sane-find-scanner'.
Here's the expression (WIP): https://github.com/pjones/nixpkgs/blob/pkg/brother/pkgs/misc/drivers/brother/dsseries.nix Something interesting to note is that device files for the scanner show up in /dev/bsg/ instead of the usual /dev/sg*. I think that has something to do with the scanner being detected as a disk. I did have this working under Debian before switching to NixOS. I also still have a Debian install if I need to test anything or figure out what's going on. Any hint/tips would be appreciated.
