I can't debug this any further since it doesn't happen to me. I suggest going through the SANE wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sane), especially the problems section. Keep in mind these are brothers drivers and they may interfere with the usual arch setup. As long as it is fixed by simply removing the udev rules I suppose this is a minor issue.

I use a x86-64 system... I'm also a former long time ubuntu 64bit user, and i can say that under ubuntu i had no problem using scanner and printer, via the deb packages and the installation guide on the brother website.

Doing a quick google search listed some problems with Ubuntu and this device as well (http://askubuntu.com/questions/395926/brother-dcp-7055w?lq=1) Are you using a 64 or 32 bit installation?

@Harey: ciao, the model is a Brother DCP-7055, ID 04f9:0248.

@mksingh and supernaicol: What is the model of your Printer/Scanner? What udev rule file is affected (idProduct would be interesting)? Maybe its the same device?

I also faced 'either printer or scanner does not work' problem. after removing mk-udev-rules script from PKGBUILD, problem is gone.

Harvey commented on 2015-01-24 16:14 (UTC)

Those udev rules were not my idea in first place. I added a suggestion from another user for whom it did not work without. I don't use my MFC's USB connection, it is on my network so I am not able to test this here. Would be interesting if anybody else is seeing this 'either printer or scanner does not work' problem.

supernaicol commented on 2015-01-24 13:40 (UTC)

@Harey: that didn't help, but I simply resolved eliminating from the PKGBUILD the mk-udev-rules script: now i don't have any brscan4.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d, but both scanner and printer are working. Are you sure those rules are correct? Let me know if you need any information about my system.

Harvey commented on 2015-01-22 12:55 (UTC)

No, not a clue. Adding your user to both groups does not help?

I have a problem with this package: I installed it and my DCP-7055 scanner works very smoothly, but the printer stops working and CUPS says "waiting for the printer to become available". I read a blog post about this problem and setting a udev rule that change the group of /dev/bus/usb/001/002 from scanner to lp. This solves the printing problem, but the scanner stops working. So apparently I have to choose between scanning and printing. Any hint?
