(The number return back to 2 when you reboot the PC) Note that if you unplug the USB cable to the scanner and plug it back in the device, you will get a new number and/or bus. In my case it was bus 003 and device 002. To fix the problem, you will need to use the path based on the location of the brother scanner in the lsusb command. The bus is 003 and the device is 002 and not bus 5, dev 1 as per scanimage $ lsusbīus 003 Device 002: ID 04f9:60a0 Brother Industries, Ltd**īus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

This is one of the problems in the scanimage. To find out where the brother scanner is on the bus use lsusb.

Here is more detailed information on why we did what we did above Irections at brother's website regarding the brscan2 install, including using the dpkg -f flagĮditing /lib/udev/rules.d/les to includeĪTTRS' will add write permission to scanner xsane exits with 'Invalid argument' while scanning with Brother DCP-J725DW, what does it mean?.After upgrading to 12.04 the scanner from Brother Printer MFC-290C does not work.Similar previously asked questions / problems (but for brscan3 driver hardware): However I have been unable to verify scanners using brscan2 (or other divers other than brscan4) and ubuntu 13.10 (actually 12.10 and greater) are currently functioning.įor cross-referencing / to help others with the problem the complete list of brscan2 scanners is as follows:ĭCP-110C DCP-115C DCP-117C DCP-120C DCP-130C DCP-135C DCP-150CĭCP-153C DCP-155C DCP-310CN DCP-315CN DCP-330C DCP-340CW DCP-350CĭCP-353C DCP-357C DCP-540CN DCP-560CN DCP-7010 DCP-7020 DCP-7025ĭCP-750CW DCP-770CW DCP-8060 DCP-8065DN MFC-210C MFC-215C MFC-230C Moreover I found several other posts that seem to indicate at least brscan4 models are currently working. I installed a fresh copy of saucy to verify that it wasn't just something to do with the upgrade.īrother's website has a notice that all brscan1 models no longer support usb scanning as of Ubuntu 11.10, but it doesn't seem to apply for brscan2 and brscan3 models.

However once I upgraded from these, scanning broke. Scanning via my MFC-420CN had been working in Ubuntu and Linux Mint installs up though Olivia and Oneric. I recently upgraded Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy).
