I am uncertain what the best<br>format in which to respond to the mailing list is so I am including my<br>origional message at the bottom. Then Thierry's response and this<br>message on top.<br><br>1. I determined that the MFC-J485DW was not communicating when I<br>attempted to ping it's designated ip address. It made some sense<br>because devices had been occasionally dropping off the network<br>suddenly this past week.<br><br>2. I replaced modem-router combo with a different unit on hand. I was<br>then able to ping the MFC-J485DW.<br><br>3. SANE worked again.<br><br>4. I added the ppa by:<br><br>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git<br>sudo apt-get update<br>sudo apt install libsane libsane-common sane-utils<br><br>5. I added backend entries "brother2" "brother3" "brother4" to<br>/etc/sane.d/dll.conf<br><br>6. I updated entire system "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get<br>upgrade" and then rebooted.<br><br>7. My question is as follows: xsane 0.999 shows when opening. (In the<br>"Available devices" menu). After fresh system boot Initially 3 device<br>options are shown. Then once xsane is closed and executed later during<br>same system boot only 2 device options are shown as follows:<br><br>Initially these options are available: Brother MFC-J485DW MFC-J485DW<br>[brother:net1;dev0]<br><br> Brother<br>MFC-J485DW flatbed scanner [escl:http://192.168.1.28:80]<br><br> eSCL Brother<br>MFC-J485 eSCL network scanne [airscan:e0:Brother MFC-J485DW<br><br>After initial xsane use only 2 options are available: Brother<br>MFC-J485DW MFC-J485DW [brother:net1;dev0]<br><br><br> eSCL Brother MFC-J485 eSCL network scanne<br>[airscan:e0:Brother MFC-J485DW<br><br>Which option is prefered it seems now with updates applied today<br>through the PPA all are functional.
