Hi,

Has anyone already tested the brother backend? Link:
http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/sane_drivers.html

It seems to be based on an old SANE version without libusb support so
it may be difficult to use on 2.6 :-/

It claims to supporte these models:
DCP Models:  
DCP-1000     DCP-1400	DCP-8020	DCP-8025D 	 	
FAX Models:  
FAX1815C     FAX1820C 	FAX1920CN 	FAX-2850 	FAX-2900	
FAX-3800     FAX-4100 	FAX-4750e 	FAX-5750e	 		
MFC Models:  
MFC3220C     MFC3320CN	MFC3420C	MFC3820CN	MFC-4800 	
MFC-6800     MFC-8220	MFC-8420 	MFC-8500 	MFC-8820D	
MFC-9030     MFC-9070 	MFC-9160 	MFC-9180 	MFC-9660 	
MFC-9700     MFC-9760	MFC-9800	MFC-9860	MFC-9880

Any experiences with that backend?

I'd like to add these scanners to our lists for external backends but
first I want to know if the driver works at all.

Bye,
  Henning
