brscan-skey broken after reinstallation

eehmke · 11-28-2014, 06:03 AM

I had brscan-skey running for month without problems. Now I managed to trash some files in /usr/local and had to reinstall the Brother drivers. Now I can print and can scan using xsane, even with running scanimage manually. But the scripts in /opt/brother/scanner/brscan-skey/script/ are not triggered anymore when I press the scan button and select file scan. The printer just times out without scanning. This is a Mint 17 system with Brother printer MFC-7360N.

Is the printer/scanner connected via USB or ethernet? (I connect to a couple of different Brother multifunction devices, but I've never used brscan-skey.)

Anyway, is your scanner detected with the following command?

Code:

brscan-skey  -l

The problem is solved in the meantime. The scripts are actually called and failed for other reasons that I could handle. I can scan again.

Quote:

brscan-skey -l

is working too.

Thanks for the update.
