** Description changed: - It would be nice if the brother scanner drivers would be available through synaptic just as the printer drivers. The scanner drivers are available here: + It would be nice if the brother scanner driver brscan is available through the Ubuntu repositories. The scanner driver is available from: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/download_scn.html - when packaging one can adjust the udev rights accordingly, so users dont have to do it themselves any more: - as described here: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Brother/Scanner?highlight=brscan#udev-Regeln-anpassen + Please note that certain scanners won't populate unless you "Change + Country (Language)". For example, the ADS-2100e will populate if you + choose Deutschland(Deutsch) as the language, but not if you choose + United States(English). + + The license for the driver allows distribution and modification to package with Ubuntu: + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/383147/+attachment/4803090/+files/License.txt + + When packaging one may need to create a UDEV rule. For example, when using the ADS-2100e scanner with Xenial 64-bit, one must install Brother linux (deb) driver brscan4-0.4.4-1.amd64.deb from: + http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=at&lang=de&prod=ads2100e_eu_as_cn + + Then, create file /etc/udev/rules.d/39-brother.rules : + ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="037d", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" + + "39" because it needs to run BEFORE the + /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules - there is the variable + "libsane_matched" needed. + + For more on this: + http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Brother/Scanner?highlight=brscan#udev-Regeln-anpassen
