I just upgraded to Xenial and the situation is the same. However I wanted to note that the script in comment #27 didn't work for me.
Here's a procedure to get the brscan2 package work in Ubuntu Trusty or Xenial: 1) Install the latest brscan2 package (I have brscan2-0.2.5-1.amd64.deb ) 2) Copy the drivers from /usr/lib64 to the correct directory: $ cd /usr/lib64 $ sudo cp -pr lib* sane /usr/lib 3) Edit the file /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules ADD the following 2 lines # Brother DCP-7020 ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0183", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" AFTER this line LABEL="libsane_usb_rules_begin" 4) Tell udev to reload the updated rule file $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701856 Title: Brother's printer/scanner drivers awkward to find and install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/701856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
