I took your comment as an occasion to revise my PKGBUILD and - fun! Meanwhile I did a completely fresh system install and now it works with xsane after configuring it with brsanconfig4. Would you mind trying this one again? Especially have a look at /opt/brother/scanner/brscan4/brsanenetdevice4.cfg after using brsanconfig4. Mine looks like: DEVICE=Brother , "MFC-9465CDN" , 0x4f9:0x244 , IP-ADDRESS=192.168.1.10 Notice the empty line and the carriage return after it.

I think there is a bug in the brother-rpm. brsaneconfig4 searches in /etc/opt/brother/... which should be /opt/brother/... . This path seems to be hard coded in brsaneconfig4. I modified your PKGBUILD like that: [link]https://sandbox.zeller.ws/wolke/public.php?service=files&token=1c3abe61ff6b36b14d44cc7b251ea0c33d9fa834&file=/public/brscan4_0.4.1_1.tar.gz[/link] , installed it, put a symlink 'ln -s /opt/ /etc/opt' and after playing around with setupSaneScan4 -e/-i, adding my MFC-J825DW again with brsaneconfig4, removing ~/.sane --> xsane starts and i was able to scan. But it's so dirty that way, i'll install 0.3.0 again :-P

I can't get the new version to work. All is installing well, brsaneconfig4 -d is showing my scanner but while scanning xsane simply dies without any errors. I'll stay with this (working) version for now.

Brother released brscan4 version 0.4.1-1 on 5-June 2012. Please update. http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_scn.html Regards

New version only incorporates the suggestions made by flexiondotorg (thank you). No need to update if you already installed brscan4 0.3.0_3-1 successfully.

Hi, Thanks very much, works great with simple-scan :-) It might be worth adding an `echo` in the .install that briefly explains how to configure it and direct them to the "docs". * http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1b.html For example, run the following as root: brsaneconfig4 -a name="Brother" model="MFC-7360N" ip=192.168.1.2 Regards, Martin.

Updated - please try.
