I've used Brother printers/MF devices for years and never had a problem with installing software for them. I have occasionally had a "Failed to open...." message like yours. I think I solved it by restarting the (wireless) server it's connected to. Never connected by WLAN though?Send dorset mailing list submissions to dorset@mailman.lug.org.ukTo subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to dorset-requ...@mailman.lug.org.uk You can reach the person managing the list at dorset-ow...@mailman.lug.org.uk When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of dorset digest..."

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
