I'm using 9.10 on x86 architecture. I've searched the forums and anything related to scanning talks about editing /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules which doesn't seem to exist on my system. Judging from the dates most of these posts probably relate to intrepid or jaunty. XSane just says 'no devices available'. Printing works fine.
View 6 RepliesDuring installation of Ubuntu 10.04, there was no driver found for my Brother MFC-665CW printer/scanner. However, I recently learned on the Forum that there is a printer driver available for the MFC-665CW through Synaptic that can be accessed by searching on printer name. I got it, and it works great. I've not been successful in locating a driver for the scanner part of the MFC-665CW. Does anyone know if there is a driver available on Synaptic that will work for the scanner on a MFC-665CW, and if so how to get to it (i.e., what to search on to locate it)?

I added the same line into the file as for Lucid Lynx v. 10.04 and the scanner has scanned perfectly. The lines Brother gives are for the following file: Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04
1. Open "/lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules" file.
2. Add the following two lines to the end of the device list. (Before the line "# The following rule will disable ..."):

I just installed an all-in-one Brother MFC-8670DN in Ubuntu 9.04. The printing works great but I cannot get the scanner recognized. I tried brscan, brscan2 and brscan3 from the Linux section of the Brother website to no avail. Previously had a lower model Brother MFC working fine. I called Brother and they said that "I need to call Linux for help with the scanner." Anyone who can help with the Brother MFC-8670DN? It would be very much appreciated. This printer may go back to the store if I cannot get the scanner working in Ubuntu 9.04.

There is a problem with scanning on Brother multifunctional under Debian Squeeze/Sid. I get things smooth and good under root (both scanimage and xsane), but under user it gives

Already fixed /etc/fstab:

I have a Brother MFC-6490CW network Scanner. Had it installed and working great in Gutsy. Upgraded to Natty 11.04 the other day, and the scanner stopped working. Printing is still ok. When I try to open a scanning program I get:

I tried reinstalling the drivers, no luck.
I have a DCP 7030 multifunction printer. I have installed all proprietary drivers from Brother (printer an scanner drivers).

I have tried the settings for Fedora 12 but they do not work. [URL]

I just received a Canon Pixma MX320 as a gift.
I am currently running the Ubuntu 10.04 OS
I was able to get the printer up and running by downloading the printer driver for debian linux (3.1) from the Canon site without any problems.
Unfortunately I am not having the same luck with the scanner.
I tried downloading ScanGear MP for Linux (deb) (1.3) from the same Canon site but have not yet been able to get the XSane Image Scanner to recognize this scanner driver for my Canon.
I was able to get my Epson Stylus NX510 printer up and running (after much issue), but I can't get the scanner working. I'm on a laptop, and the printer/scanner is wifi enabled and broadcasts with its own IP address. I can print with no problem, but xsane and simple scan don't recognize the scanner. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

I've installed XSane Image Scanner. When I first opened it, it searched for my scanner and didn't give any error messages, and it had my scanner model in the heading of the scan window.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I have a Brother MFC 240C printer. I installed the print driver from here. Driver installed with no problem. When I print something, it goes through the print que to the the printer with no error messages, however the printer never prints the document. When I take the printer off line, Ubuntu senses it's offline and when I return the printer online Ubuntu knows it's back online. So I know Ubuntu is talking to the printer. It's just the print jobs never print. I am dual booting with Windows XP. The printer works fine when in XP.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a Sony Z series laptop which is also dual booted with MS Vista. My Brother printer (which has wi-fi) has stopped printing with Ubuntu. The Brother does still print with Vista using the wireless connection.
I've tried deleting the network printer software and reinstalling it. The installation program will locate the Brother printer and it will appear to have been installed properly. When I try to do a test print using Ubuntu, the "document print status" window will indicate the print job is pending. However, it will stay pending indefinitely. I've used the printing troubleshooter guide and it has advised that:
- The queue 'Brother-HL-4070CDW' is not enabled. The reason given is: 'Unable to locate printer 'BRWCEB885'!'.
- To enable it, select the 'Enabled' checkbox in the 'Policies' tab for the printer in the printer administration tool. To start this tool, select System->Administration->Printing from the main menu.
When I go to the policies tab and check the 'Enabled' box and then try to apply this selection, the 'Enabled' box automatically unchecks and I get a print error message:
- Printer Error. There was problem sending document 'Test Page' (job 117) to the printer.
I seem to be caught in an endless loop without anything printing.
I have just purchased a brand new Brother printer MFC-250C which includes a fax/copier/scanner but mostly its for printing photos however Ubunto 10.4 does not recognize this model! (it works perfectly over on my other partition with windows7 using the setup disk for Brother). I have installed everything related to Brother from Synaptic and searched the Brother web site for any drivers relating to this model and have even tried installing from Synaptic MFC-240C drivers in case they may work (no 250c available in synaptic) selecting PRINT for instance in Fspot my printer receives information for the photo but does not commence printing ..the same applies working in Gimp Gutenprint.
