Gimp : I don't get this option in the menu, I probably would have to recompile Gimp with sane installed.

Group 660 or 664 is not a problem, I am in lp and scanner groups.

Brscan-skey : I tried under user and under root, same result. Folder is automatically created if not existing.

Thanks anyway,

Guillaume

Hello

- Indeed I installed the Brother drivers, except brscan-skey, I will
try this one today.
- I don't have the Gimp scan module (?).
You can create it in GIMP if its installed. Start GIMP:
[Code}
Select File-->Create-->Xsane Device Dialog and input printer name etc.
[/CODE]
Mine for some reason already had the device defined but with wrong usb
port. I just did the above Create with correct port. Scan worked fine
then.

I'm still not sure why XSane won't work.

- Scanimage is OK :
[CODE]
scanimage -L
device `brother4:net1;dev0' is a Brother SCANNER DCP-J752DW
device `brother4:bus1;dev3' is a Brother DCP-J752DW USB scanner
[/CODE]
- dll.conf is OK
[CODE]
cat /etc/sane.d/dll.conf | grep br
brother4
[/CODE]
- 80-libsane.rules contains :
# Brother DCP-J752DW / added by gui
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="02e4", MODE="0660",
GROUP="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
I noticed my MODE is "0664'
Also noticed I am specitically in the Group lp.
       lp 7 username,2ndusername,lp
Not sure if this is same on Slackware.
So I will try brscan-skey.
Remember if you execute the command brscan-key to start the program it
needs to be started as root.
Thanks,

Guillaume

Hi

I need your help to get my new multifunction printer to work.
I read and tried quite a lot of things but still I can only print.
When I start Xsane, I can select my usb scanner (wifi is the same
problem), then I click "Get preview", I can hear the scanner moving
for 1-2 sec and then the Xsane window just closes by itself
(without
any message if I start it from bash).
2 strange things : I get a partial scan in /tmp of just 128 Ko, I
get
this message in /var/log/syslog :
Oct 15 09:05:18 guiport kernel: [   78.888921] usb 1-1.2: usbfs:
interface 2 claimed by usb-storage while 'xsane' sets config #1
Oct 15 09:05:18 guiport kernel: [   78.888925] usb 1-1.2: usbfs:
process 2049 (xsane) did not claim interface 1 before use

Here is my config :
- Slackware 64 14.1
- kernel 3.14.5
- Sane 1.0.24 + Sane-compat-32
- XSane 0.998 + XSane-compat-32
- BrScan4 0.4.2 (rpm modified into txz for slack)
I modified a few files here and there (copy libs from lib64 to lib,
added my scanner to /lib/udev/rules.d/80-libsane.rules...).

Thanks for your help

Guillaume
Appears you are using the Brothers drivers? I have a Brothers
printer ( MFC J6710DW). It works with Gimp scan, and with the
brscan-skey mode. But Xsane will not start it. This used to work
before the latest xsane updates from openSUSE 13.1.

Does scanimage reconize it? Did you

[Code]

scanimage -L
device `brother4:bus3;dev5' is a Brother MFC-J6710DW USB scanner

[/Code]

also make sure there is an entry at the end of sane.dll.
[Code]

   /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Mine is:
#xerox_mfp

brother4 (name of printer)

[/Code]

Also when I install mine the first time I found the Product ID
missing for the printer in /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules.

I think this is the same as your 80-libsane.rules. My
/lib/udev/rules.d does not have the libsane rule in it. This is
probably one of the differences between openSUSE and Slackware. I
am using the Brscan4 stuff.

In the next few days I will install this in openSUSE 13.2 RC.

Hope this may help you.

Good Luck.
