[Bug 72321] Re: Include Brother scanner drivers
I used the fix as per 9.04/10.04 from the Brother FAQ's: not successfully at
first. Then I re-read line 2 of their instruction, and put the extra line in
the right place, (it's also clearly indicated where to put it in the start of
the file, if only I read the instructions ocasionally -
# To add a USB device, add a rule to the list below between the
# LABEL=libsane_usb_rules_begin and LABEL=libsane_usb_rules_end lines.
Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04
1. Open /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules file.
2.Add the following two lines to the end of the device list. (Before the
line # The following rule will disable ...):
The lines to be added---
# Brother scanners
ATTRS{idVendor}==04f9, ENV{libsane_matched}=yes
And then restarted the system, and yay, the scanner works in Natty.

@Nuno and James
Followed the instruction, without MODE=664 en GROUP=scanner, from
James. Have added them to /etc/udev/40-libsane.rules, restart udev and
it works now.
The other row: SYSFS{idVendor}==04f9, SYSFS{idProduct}==0184,
MODE=644, GROUP=scanner have been removed.

Is brscan3_0.2.11-0ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz in the

I used the drivers for the printer from the repo, I did use the bscan2
file from Brother for the scanner, however they did update their pages
for 9.10/10.04. all brother scanners use the same device ID here are
their instructions:
Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04
1. Open /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules file.
2.Add the following two lines to the end of the device list. (Before the
line # The following rule will disable ...):
The lines to be added---
# Brother scanners
ATTRS{idVendor}==04f9, ENV{libsane_matched}=yes
3. Restart the OS.

** Description changed:
I would like to see the Brother Scanner drivers for sane in Ubuntu
- (brother2 and brother).

- Brother has a website with drivers:

+ Brother has a website with drivers and packages for Debian:

The driver works on a Brother DCP-7025 when you add a line to
/etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules:
SYSFS{idVendor}==04f9, SYSFS{idProduct}==0184, MODE=664,GROUP=scanner
This has probably to be done with every supported model.

[Bug 72321] Re: Include Brother scanner drivers (brother2, brother)
Brother put forth the effort they thought they needed to to get their hardware working under linux based operating systems. If we're going to disregard said effort, we owe them an explanation and a clear request as to what more we need from them. It seems they're rather responsive. :) As an end user, I rely on the binary nVidia driver already. I'm not going to switch operating systems. I'm not going to switch scanners. Users will do what they need to do, and the stated objective of the sane project is to make scanner access easy. The driver code may be butt ugly, but as long as that code doesn't put other scanner drivers that are already part of sane at risk also, I don't see how including those drivers can make anything any worse. The sooner they're pulled, the sooner the code can be brought up to project standards. Assuming, though, that you can't ship the actual driver, please at least ship udev rules, as per Thomas' request. Thomas : how do you find what udev rules to use with your scanner? I may be able to run xsane with user permissions if I can at least get that all figured out.. ** Changed in: sane-backends-extras (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Confirmed -- Include Brother scanner drivers (brother2, brother) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 72321] Re: Include Brother scanner drivers (brother2, brother)
If your scanner is connected via USB, then you have to run lsusb. This
lists all your USB devices. Search for an entry which looks like your
scanner. This, for example, is my scanner:
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 04f9:0184 Brother Industries, Ltd DCP-7025
Printer
The 4-digit numbers after ID are the ones you have to use in your udev
rules. In this case:
SYSFS{idVendor}==04f9, SYSFS{idProduct}==0184, MODE=664,
GROUP=scanner
This instruction is quite similar to those from Brother:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/
There you also get the driver packages.

Even if the driver is not included because of licensing issues, you can
at least make it easier to manually install the driver by adding the
proper udev rules. For me, this is
