[sane-devel] Sane with Brother MFC-9880

[Risanecek]

Hi,

I would like to contribute feedback for this device, but can't get it to
run.

SuSE Linux 10.0 (2.6.13 kernel)
> sane-config --version
1.0.15


>sane-find-scanner

...
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x011b) at libusb:002:003
...

> scanimage -L
device `brother:bus2;dev1' is a Brother MFC-9880 MFC Scanner

(works for both user and root)

I installed the brscan RPM from
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/sane_drivers.html

Unfortunately no luck :-(

xscanimage

=> Failed to open device 'brother:bus2;dev1': Error during device I/O

tried also to compile the brscan sources myself.

Unfortunately no luck :-(

===================================

Resumee: "Scanner Access Now Easy" I must confess my interpretation of
"easy" differs
somewhat.

bye,
Richard
