The Brother MFC-1910W printer-fax-scanner, brscan4 based, does not work
with the symlink trick, the scanner is detected by sane-find-scanner,
but is not listed by scanimage -l, and will only work after enabling the
root account and issuing the 'su root' and 'xsane' commands in a
terminal; a simple sudo xsane won't work. Although it seems to me a
permission issue, creating appropriate (to the best of my knowledge!)
udev rules files in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory and/or in
/lib/udev/rules.d directory has no positive outcome, nor editing the the
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane1.rules file; my attempts were using the
lines
## Brother MFC-1910W
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="035d", MODE="0666",
GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
with several flavours of the MODE= option (0660 0666 0664 0777 and the like).
Again: if only libsane1 will also look for sane backends in the "legacy"
locations other than the new ones perhaps this insane mess would be sorted out.
