Hi, I would like to contribute feedback for this device, but can't get it to run.
SuSE Linux 10.0 (2.6.13 kernel) > sane-config --version 1.0.15 >sane-find-scanner ... found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x011b) at libusb:002:003 ... > scanimage -L device `brother:bus2;dev1' is a Brother MFC-9880 MFC Scanner (works for both user and root) I installed the brscan RPM from http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/sane_drivers.html Unfortunately no luck :-( xscanimage => Failed to open device 'brother:bus2;dev1': Error during device I/O tried also to compile the brscan sources myself.

You could try by setting chown root.users /var/lib/lock/sane <<<< assuming michael's group is users chmod 0775 /var/lib/lock/sane and retest. But beware, do a ls -l /var/lib/lock/sane first in order to know what permissions you actually have & probably put the original ones back - just in case. The rule of thumb here is to not reduce existing permissions where they are - and to not unneccessarily enlarge them. Much luck, take care Dieter -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <??__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) -----------------------------------------------------------
