After installing aptosin 2011-03 I noticed that brscan2 did not work with sane, although sane-find-scanner found a valid usb device, scanimage -L claimed not to find the right backend.
The reason was the missing of the /usr/lib64 symlink to /usr/lib.
So brscan2 installation simply creates the /usr/lib64/sane directory where it copies in the brscan libraries.
In this case, sane could not find them because it only searches the backend libs in /usr/lib/sane.
The solution is to create the symlink by the command
ln -s /usr/lib /usr/lib64
*before* installing bscan2.
Best regards

Hi burkhard, maybe you can help me troubleshoot my scanner. I have a Brother MFC-J415W and sane-find-scanner shows this:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9 [Brother], product=0x025c [MFC-J415W]) at libusb:004:006
and I'm using brscan3-0.2.11-4.amd64.deb
lsusb reports:
Bus 004 Device 006: ID 04f9:025c Brother Industries, Ltd
xsane finds no scanner. |

Hi browe!
Try to run scanimage with increased debug level:
SANE_DEBUG_DLL=3 scanimage -L
Then you should see some lines like this:
...
[dll] load: searching backend `brother3' in `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane:/usr/lib/sane'
[dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother3.so.1'
[dll] init: initializing backend `brother2'
...
At least you should see, where scanimage searches the needed libs.
Best regards

I created the following links:
Code:
ln -s /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother3.so.1.0.7 /usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother3.so
ln -s /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother3.so.1.0.7 /usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother3.so.1
ln -s /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother3.so.1.0.7 /usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother3.so.7
And now I get:
Code:
SANE_DEBUG_DLL=3 scanimage -L
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of dll to 3.
[dll] sane_init: SANE dll backend version 1.0.13 from sane-backends 1.0.22
[dll] sane_init/read_dlld: using config directory `/etc/sane.d/dll.d'
[dll] add_backend: adding backend `brother3'
[dll] sane_get_devices
[dll] load: searching backend `brother3' in `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane:/usr/lib/sane'
[dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother3.so.1'
[dll] init: initializing backend `brother3'
[dll] sane_get_devices: found 1 devices
device `brother3:bus1;dev1' is a Brother MFC-J415W USB scanner
[dll] sane_exit: exiting
[dll] sane_exit: calling backend `brother3's exit function
[dll] sane_exit: finished
lsusb
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04f9:025c Brother Industries, Ltd
At least now I get a message from xsane:
Code:
Failed to open device 'brother3:bus1;dev1'
Also, sane-find-scanner:
Code:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9 [Brother], product=0x025c [MFC-J415W]) at libusb:004:002
Any more hints would be appreciated. |

In this case, you don't have sufficiant rights for using this device.
You have got 2 solutions:
1. Login as root and use xsane (Ahhhrghhh...) Bad one. Don't do this!!!
2. enter an additional entry in the udev rules:
Open file /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules (as root) in your favorite editor
enter the following line at the end of the usb scanners (about line 1178)
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="025c", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
and restart the udev (or reboot)
This time you may use this device as ordinary user
Best regards

Thanks for the help burkhard, I followed your advice but I'm still stuck:
I added the following to /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules and restarted udev by command /etc/init.d/udev restart I also tried after a dist-upgrade and reboot.
Code:
# Brother MFC-J415W manually added
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="025c", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
# The following rule will disable USB autosuspend for the device
ENV{libsane_matched}=="yes", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'if test -e /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/control; then echo on > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/control; elif test -e /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/level; then echo on > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/level; fi'"
LABEL="libsane_usb_rules_end"
Here's another snipit of code, all seems to be loading properly, but no luck, xsane and skanlite both give up:
Code:
SANE_DEBUG_DLL=3 skanlite
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of dll to 3.
[dll] sane_init: SANE dll backend version 1.0.13 from sane-backends 1.0.22
[dll] sane_init/read_dlld: using config directory `/etc/sane.d/dll.d'
[dll] add_backend: adding backend `brother3'
[dll] sane_get_devices
[dll] load: searching backend `brother3' in `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane:/usr/lib/sane'
[dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-brother3.so.1'
[dll] init: initializing backend `brother3'
[dll] sane_get_devices: found 1 devices
[dll] sane_open: trying to open `brother3:bus1;dev1'

Almost a year had to pass until my aptosid installation became a similar state. After a fresh-install of aptosid 2012-1 I installed the brscan2 in the way described above. Unfortunately I ended up with an unusable scanner.
scanimage -L
showed me a correct
device `brother2:bus1;dev3'
But when trying to scan, it complains about "invalid parameters".
Meanwhile the /var/log/messages file got the entry
"... (scanimage) did not claim interface 1 before use"
Nevertheless, I found that the brscan2 package wrote two other libs into the directory
/var/lib64
which hadn't been in the library path. In order to solve this, I added a new file "brscan2.conf" in the ld.conf.d directory, containing the needed path. The easiest way to do this is to enter this command:
echo /usr/lib64 >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/brscan2.conf
After calling "ldconfig" the scanner worked as expected!
Best regards

I just noticed that the new update of libsane touches the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. Therefore the brother2 backend is no longer detected and sane does not find a brother scanner.
As a solution you can simply add the string "brother2" (or brother / brother3 depending on your model) at the end of the file dll.conf.
Best regards
