Brother DCP7030 scanner will not work
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 4:40 pm
New Mint instl'n and cannot get scanner to work on a Brother DCP7030. It worked fine on my old ubuntu 10.10 instl'n. What I've tried so far:
Brand new Mint 12 amd64 instl'n ==> Linux Mint 12 (Lisa) 3.0.0-12-generic gnome 3.2.1
All available updates installed as of today
Followed procedure from the Brother website, http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bs ... scn1a.html which I used in ubuntu before to the letter :–
install sane-utils
download the brscan3 file =>
turn on printer/scanner then insert usb cable
install the driver with
check if driver is installed => its there
modified the "" file, adding
to the end of the device list before the line
restarted the system
Used same Simple Scan program from the menus, that I'd used with ubuntu. Will not recognize scanner in Mint.
Installed the gnome users/groups program to get access to the groups settings.
Added my user name to the saned and scanners groups.
Restarted and tried Simple scan again – no luck.
Installed Skanlite and tried that program – no luck.
After searching around I check /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file for the Brother entry, which is apparently supposed to appear at the bottom of the file. There is a addition at the bottom of the listings.
Don't know, where to go from here. Thanks
