[sane-devel] New brother MFC-J6920DW, xsane can't find the scanner

[Gene Heskett]

The linux-brother installer downloaded and installed about 6 .debs, the 
printer is working but not very fast.

Its all on a cat5, and addressed at 192.168.xx/21.

From all the evidence I've been able to round up, including about 2 hours 
reading thru the "strace xsane >/home/gene/src/stracesane" file, the 
linkage in the form of a brother4.conf file was never created 
in /etc/sane.d/ to link the name "brother4" that was added 
to /etc/sane.d/dll.d/dll.conf to the /opt/brother/brscan stuff.  There I 
have (ls -lR):
