brother DS-740 config.

I,m still trying to install a ds-740 scanner I get

Code:

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9 [Brother], product=0x0469 [DS-740D]) at libusb:001:003

  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by

  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

Code:

scanimage -L



No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,

check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the

sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation

I'm stuck.

Have you downloaded the driver? I found a .deb package at https://www.brother.co.uk/support/ds-740d/downloads. You'd have to unpack this by hand to install it in PCLinuxOS or Slackware but it can be done.

The most essential parts of the driver are the configuration file, which goes into /etc/sane.d and the SANE backend, which goes into one of the library trees (Slackware puts them in /usr/lib64/sane but I don't know where RedHat distros put them). You also need to edit the name of the configuration file into /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, but it's quite possible that the package contains a script which does all that for you.

Have a look at the man page for sane. It describes how to run scanimage with debugging active so that you can see where the holdup is.

Hi,

I converted the 64bit RPM from the brother website

Code:

brscan5-1.2.6-1.x86_64.rpm to brscan5-1.2.7-x86_64-0.txz

I don't see an entry for brscan in /etc/sane.d only an empty bh.conf file.

Do I unpack the txz before installing ?

You suggest the .deb vs. the .rpm driver ?

I didn't see an rpm when I looked, which surprised me. Usually manufacturers provide both. Obviously I didn't look hard enough.

The txz file that you have made (I assume you used rpm2tgz to convert it) should be directly installable in Slackware using installpkg. Afterwards you should find all the files you need in their proper locations. You may need to put your usb vendor and device numbers into the config file provided but sometimes just uncommenting the usb option is enough. And you definitely need to check if the driver name has been edited into dll.conf by the installer. If you're lucky, the thing will just work. If not, debug it as described in the man page.

I checked the dll.config and found Brother5 uncomented , I read the man-sane

scanimage -L only works as root but group command gives:

users lp wheel floppy audio video cdrom plugdev power netdev scanner.

Check in /lib/udev/rules.d. There should be a file of rules for scanners; in Slackware it's called 80-libsane.rules. I don't know what Debian calls it. If there isn't a line there for your scanner, add one, using the existing lines as a model. Then unplug the scanner and plug it in again. udev needs to transfer group ownership of the usb port that your scanner uses to the scanner group in order for you to find it without being root.

Hello again,

after adding:
# Brother-DS740D
ATTR{idVendor}=="0x04f9", ATTR{idProduct}=="0x0469", MODE="0660", GROUP="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

Hplip gives a warning, and scanimage --l still does not detect scanner. I would like to try and reinstall sane but the 15 mirrors are not available yet. OR maybe remove hplip ?

There is no indication of the actual command used.

Quote:

Indeed there is.

I suggest running

Code:

rpm2txz -c -S -n -d brscan5-1.2.7-0.x86_64.rpm

(the -S option extracts the install scripts in the rpm) to rebuild the package, and then run

Code:

upgradepkg --reinstall brscan5-1.2.7-x86_64-0.txz

The doinst.sh script will run, adding the supporting libraries, followed by running the script '/opt/brother/scanner/brscan5/setupSaneScan5' with the -i option (this adds an entry to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf) and then '/opt/brother/scanner/brscan5/udev-rules/udev_install' (to set up udev rules).

Thanks

Looks like progress. What is the output of 'scanimage -L'? Does the output of 'scanimage --help' show options specific to your device?

Why would a USB scanner be shown on PCI bus?

My NEWBIE mistake, sorry.

According to Archwiki brother DS series needs libsane-dsseries 1.0.5_1-2 package to work with brother DS scanners. I did not find it in slackbuilds repo.

also

Code:

/opt/brother/scanner/brscan5/models

is empty.

output of brsaneconfig5

Code:

/opt/brother/scanner/brscan5/brscan_gnetconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libavahi-client.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/opt/brother/scanner/brscan5/brscan_cnetconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libavahi-client.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Does the device show in the output of 'lsusb'? What is the output of 'groups'?

The way I read it, the libsane-dsseries 1.0.5_1 is the driver for the DS-620.

I see eight files in /opt/brother/scanner/brscan5/models

Quote:

brscan5ext_0.ini
brscan5ext_1.ini
brscan5ext_2.ini
brscan5ext_3.ini
brscan5ext_4.ini
brscan5ext_5.ini
brscan5ext_6.ini
brscan5ext_7.ini
brscan5ext_8.ini

As I understand it, brsaneconfig5 is used for setting up ethernet connections.

Running 'for f in br*config* lib*; do echo $f; ldd $f | grep not; done' in /opt/brother/scanner/brscan5 shows that brscan_cnetconfig, brscan_gnetconfig and libsane-brother5.so.1.0.7 all have a dependency on avahi.

The use case for network discovery of a portable scanner defeats me, so I would not expect this to be a hard dependency.

You can get the SlackBuild for avahi here.
