Re: xsane compatibility with scanner

Show all headers | View raw

Thanks. I should have suspected Brothers might have the needed driver.
Now when I start xsane, I an choose devices, my video cam or my Brother
copier.

Unfortunately, that was as far as I got. I can select:

  Brother MFC-7220 USB scanner [brother2:bus1;dev1]

but if I open this device, I get error

  Failed to open device `brother2:bus1;dev1': Invalid argument.

Is the driver generating the argument? Should the semicolon between bus
and device numbers be a colon?

I find much in /usr/local/Brother/sane/, but have no idea what to do
with it. There seem two versions of each file such as Brsane2.ini and
Brsane3.ini, which are binaries. Two empty net device config files (2 &
3). There are a pair of scan setup executables, but when run nothing
happens.
