2) "To clarify the networked client install instructions from" No. I first install the software from the package of course, because the copy command is intended to copy the lib installed to the expected place. Exactly in the order given in my comment.

Also, my computers needs mobility, that's why I choose networked printer/scanner. I already found my "scanner WORKAROUND" with a usage of a VirtualBoxed xubuntu 16.04 (which works fine) from my xubuntu 16.10. But I may misunderstood your advise, would you like me to test brscan4 (I installed brscan3)? Please also note, that I introduced the "network resolution change" in xubuntu 16.10, just as a hint. It is probably not related to our scanner problem, as it has always been accessed by IP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645116 Title: [Brother DCP-J715W] core dumped executing scanimage -L To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1645116/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
