In particular, scanimage segfaults, though scanimage -L detects the device. I've done everything as correctly as I could figure out from http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:hardware:brother_printer_installation and from the instructions at http://support.brother.com/g/b/ which are displayed while downloading the printer/scanner/fax stuff. (By the way, those brother.com instructions display while downloading, so for anybody who wants them, I cut-and-pasted them all at http://www.forkosh.com/mfcinstallnotes.txt which are specifically for the MFC-J6920DW, though lots of those mfc printers are pretty similar.) Cups immediately added the printer, and printing works fine. And the scanner works "locally" when I plug in a (fat95-formatted) usb stick and walk it over to the pc after scanning images onto it, so I assume the hardware's okay. And the sane stuff looks okay as far as I can tell, e.g., brsaneconfig4 ran correctly, /etc/sane.d/dll.conf was correctly modified, etc. But scanimage segfaults. The scanner actually begins to scan, just barely, and then scanimage segfaults and the scanner resets itself. And a file containing 0 bytes is placed in ~/brscan/ . I messed around, but nothing had any effect on that behavior. Any suggestions how to proceed? Thanks, -- John Forkosh ( mailto: j@f.com where j=john and f=forkosh )
