@trapezestunned: This does not look like a standard brscan4 device. Quick google search found this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=250065 Please take some time to investigate yourself ;)

Trying to get scanning with a Brother DS-620 working. I've installed this package (the Brother website said to use brscan4), but it isn't working. I can see the device when I use lsusb, but scanimage and sane-find-scanner don't see anything whether run as root or not. I've tried adding my user to lp, rebooting, replugging, no change. Any idea what I could've done wrong?

@yywrobbie: If it is in the driver, I can't be of any further help. Please contact upstream support. Did you try both ADF and Flatbed? Any settings of the hardware that you could change?

@Harey Having the same problem on opensuse with the upstream rpm driver. Tried xsane and it didn't work as well.

@surm: I suggest reading the comments before complaining, on the second page you will find your answer.

I have a trouble updating brscan4 to version 0.4.9_1-1:

@yywrobbie: I suggest to validate if the driver is working correctly on other linux distributions. Have you tried sane-frontends, i.e. xsane?

Unable to scan US letter-sized documents on my MFC-L2700DW. On skanlite it shows that the maximum width of scannable area is 8.3 inches which is smaller than the width of a US letter (8.5 inches). Same thing with gscan2pdf where the maximum width is 211.90mm (~8.3 in) which suggests an issue with the scanner driver or the configuration of it.

updated. Thanks @lgm @ua4000: The 'Required by xxx (optional)' tag has to be provided by the other package, in this case brother-dcpj4110dw

Thanks ! Got my Brother DCP-J4110DW working.

You could add: Required by brother-dcpj4110dw (optional)

Have a good day!
