I looked into this issue at length and posted a write-up here: http://forre.st/brother_printer
The gist of it is that setting up a Brother printer with an invalid model name (e.g. "MFCL5900DW" instead of "MFC-L5900DW") can cause crashes in some cases (namely simple-scan in photo mode). Fix: * (optional) Check "/opt/brother/scanner/brscan4/brsanenetdevice4.cfg" to see if the configured device has an invalid model name (by cross-referencing with the output of "brsaneconfig4 -q") * Delete /opt/brother/scanner/brscan4/brsanenetdevice4.cfg * Re-add the scanner with a command similar to "brsaneconfig4 -a name=MFC-L5900DW model=MFC-L5900DW nodename=BRN3C2AF4738657" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769126 Title: SIMPLE-SCAN crashes when set to photo scanning To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simple-scan/+bug/1769126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
