My git-aurcheck program complains if make is in prepare() or package() and complains if sed is in build(). I've not found a way to put make in build() and all the sed patches elsewhere so I just put it all in prepare() and add the extra quotes to hide make.

Why is line 121 of the PKGBUILD `'ma''ke' -s`?

@sevendogs - correct, this just installs the printer driver. You'll need to install brscan3 for the scanner. It's here in the aur though so it shouldn't be a problem.

Let me preface this by saying I am a new Arch user, in case I say something stupid, my ignorance can be forgiven :-) I have a Brother mfc-7340 and have been scanning and printing with it on Debian based distros for several years. I just wanted to clarify: the build package/script available here only sets up the printer for printing, correct? I have successfully built and installed the drivers using the updated version of the script (thanks!) but scanning is not working at all. I have never used the "driver install tool" only the cups wrapper and brscan installer, both which worked fine for me. Perhaps I am missing something? Is the brscan package not required with the driver install tool because it is packaged together with it? Thanks in advance.

Indeed setting up brscan causes the problem. It adds a udev rules.d file that has restrictive permissions. This solves the problem: sed -i 's/0664/0666/g' /etc/udev/rules.d/brscan3.rules

After a fresh install this problem disappeared, but now it's back. Todo: investigate, probably related to the commands I ran to get the scanner working yesterday.

I've resolved my problem: it was permissions related. # lsusb ... Bus 004 Device 005: ID 04f9:01e7 Brother Industries, Ltd MFC-7340 ... # chmod a+rw /dev/bus/usb/004/005 Permissions are set dynamically (by what?) so I'm manually running this when I need to.

I've just removed testing from pacman's list and completed a pacman -Syyu. # In case any config files are written back by the daemons systemctl stop cups systemctl stop cupsd systemctl stop cups.socket systemctl stop cups.path # Clean everything out pacman -R brother-mfc7340 pacman -R cups rm -r /etc/cups # Start again yaourt brother-mfc7340 #(installs cups as dep) systemctl start cups Your package sets up the printer for me (thankyou!). echo 'Moon-bovine shooters anon.' | lp -d MFC7340 End result: https://imgur.com/3Nz567z . Nothing prints. Printer does not show any signs of receiving any data. I've swapped out the USB cable (and the printer registers via lsusb), so the only other vector would be printer failure. Thank you caring :) I'm not familiar with the CUPS framework and my general problem-solving skills have not achieved much just yet, but I'll keep trying.

@Veyrdite - /usr/local/Brother/inf/brPrintList doesn't exist on my system either but I can still print fine. I just did a full -Syyu and still can't replicate your error.

Veyrdite commented on 2014-05-18 13:25 (UTC)

This package has stopped working for me in the last few days -- the printer just stays in "Waiting for printer to become available" mode as far as CUPS is concerned. Amongst the cups (debug) logs is this: Error: /usr/local/Brother/inf/brPrintList :cannot open file !! Is this file normally necessary?
