Dear List and Antoine,
I just want to give you an update on brscan and brscan2 drivers for
Brother scanners and all-in-one devices.
I was in the contact with SANE developers as well as Brother technical
support in Japan.
The unfortunate situation is that the above drivers do contain few
binary blob libraries which happen also to be
proprietary. For that reason compilation is not possible on OpenBSD
and shall be considered a waist of
developers time.
So Brother scanners are big no-no.
At least the technical support people from the Brother's Japanese office
were very nice and quite knowledgeable about OpenBSD. I would not be
surprised that they are running OpenBSD themselves.
Most Kind Regards,
Predrag Punosevac
