@sowieso , @Harey you can add group lp to group scanner or change MODE="0664" to MODE="0666" in /etc/udev/rules.d/brscan4.rules

The printing user is in both groups (lp and scanner). Scanner was working all fine after installing this package. But the printer was stuck. I assume cups could had no permission to access the usb device, as /dev/bus/usb/… is set to root:scanner after installing your package, (instead of root:lp?). I do not know with which permissions cups actually tries to read from devices (there is no special user in passwd, and the current user had permission), but changing the device permission to root:lp fixed the problem for me (scanner working fine too).

Hmmm, both of these groups are pre-systemd groups: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Users_and_groups#Group_management Is your user in those groups?

I am not sure how to solve this, but the udev-rules broke printing for me on a MFC-7360N. It got stuck at "waiting for printer to become available" in cups. Changing the udev rules from group scanner to lp solved this for me. If anyone knows a better solution, I'd be interested to hear.

Use this one for the MFC-J4420DW model. Tested over wifi.

Works on MFC-L2700DW !! Thanks you very much. Careful : you need to give root's law on your user for use the scan ! A solution clean and permanent is to follow the wiki - part "Troubleshooting": https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SANE
