yay -S brscan-skey --overwrite '*'

Sorry for my stupidity. How do I solve the brscan_mail.config exists in filesystem error? Thx!

yay -Qi brscan-skey
Version         : 0.2.4_1-12

I am trying to use this in an LXD container (both host and container are on ArchLinux). Unfortunately, the computer is unable to register with the printer. Sniffing using tcpdump shows that the ip address of the computer is not set in the snmp request.

In the send request "HOST=:54925" should actually be "HOST=192.168.9.240:54925"

The printer simply replies with badValue@1

Is there any other package needed on Arch for the query to work correctly?

Thanks

@Jack1221 @dszryan Here is a patch that updates the package to 0.3.1_2 and fixes the install script so there aren't errors in the install. Because of the changes Brother made in how they package 0.3.0, this should be a lot smoother moving forward. There's no way to get rid of the brscan_mail.config conflict; that file was created/removed by Brother's install script, but that no longer exists and now package properly owns all files. pacman detects the file conflict before it runs the upgrade script, so we can't fix this via the .install file. I also added brscan-skey to the path so users can more easily follow Brother's documentation on their support page.

@bennypr0fane

Have you installed and configured the appropriate brscan2, brscan3, brscan4, or brscan5 as required by your scanner?

You can get help output from brscan-skey with /opt/brother/scanner/brscan-skey/brscan-skey -h 2. The is required or it doesn't provide any help output. If you have the correct brscan package installed and configured, /opt/brother/scanner/brscan-skey/brscan-skey --debug or /opt/brother/scanner/brscan-skey/brscan-skey --list might offer some insight.

@bobpaul I already enabled service autostart with systemctl and it's running but issuing the command still does nothing

@bennypr0fane the brscan-skey utility isn't installed into the path at all. Either start it with systemctl as shown during install or look at pacman -Ql brscan-skey for the full path if you want to start it manually.

Make sure you have the appropriate brscan package from AUR installed and configured, or brscan-skey won't work.

Here's a PKGBUILD with 0.3.1-2. Note it throws some errors on install (see comments below), but otherwise works. But 0.2.4-1 also works just fine, despite being out of date: https://0bin.net/paste/aZN2GqBO#5zJEUWTmQJfLG5r4OyvbxeN7fSJ+Bzo2Z6ZJkYYpbVk

When calling brscan-skey in the terminal, I get "command not found" BTW the latest version is now brscan-skey-0.3.1-2, Maybe this one will work. https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadend.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=mfc7360n_all&os=128&dlid=dlf006652_000&flang=4&type3=570&dlang=true
