After upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 I made the following changes for the
Brother MFC-215C (Scanner):
Generaly I installed the:
* LPR Printer Driver
* Sane Scanner Driver
see and start with
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_drivers.html
for this device (Brother MFC-215C) you must get the brscan2 device driver for a
MFC-210C from the brother home page:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/sane_drivers.html
install ist with the Debian routine
the intallation description of sane scanner driver:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/sane_install.html
can I add with:
A) Modify the /etc/fstab file
"none" could also be "usbfs" in the fstab, also if missing, add the following
Line (# means comment-line)
===============
# scanner
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,devmode=0666 0 0
===============
B) detect your scanner in a terminal-window and sudo with the command
"sane-find-scanner", this will follow:
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
<b> found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x0193) at libusb:001:002</b>
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.
C) modifiy 45-libsane.ruls (MODE=664 instade of 666 will work)
<For Ubuntu6.06 or later Users>
1.Open the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules" with an editor as root
(start gedit and open the file).
2.Add the following description to the file as below (if you have a Brother
MFC-215C, else
replace idVendor and idProduct by the value of scane-find-scanner - tip:
search the other two brother
descriptions and put the lines after them):
=================
# Brother MFC 215c
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04f9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0193", MODE="664",
GROUP="scanner"
=================
D) Restart the OS.
