Hello. Thanks for maintaining the brscan4 package. I'm an owner of a Brother MFC L2700DW and I depend on a lot of scanning for lots of purposes (OCR, PCBs, etc) I just found there's a newer version of brscan4 and your package uses an older one. Would you please update it? If you are busy, I might try to do it. I already did my first package based on an orphaned one and using other PKGBUILD as base (linux-drm-tip-git, I need it to solve certain Intel gfx bugs) with assistance from people on #archlinux-aur at freenode (eschwartz was the patient guru, thanks a lot to him). http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006647/brscan4-0.4.4-3.i386.rpm http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006648/brscan4-0.4.4-3.x86_64.rpm Kind regards.

Worked perfectly for Brother MFC-J480DW, and I was able to configure to scan through WiFi, too. I used simple scan.

attached to network or USB direct line? Have a look at brsaneconfig. I guess you have to run this before.

It works with DCPL2540DW but selection in xsane and the output are way off! Any suggestions?

DUH! Forgotten to change the checksums. Now it should work. Did not change the version for this.

Ok, had another look into this. I guess the users that have their device attached to the network do not face the problem because of the network use. So let's have a try for changing the device node ownership to the 'lp' group. It seems that not even brother knows the final solution, because here (http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1c.html?c=us_ot&lang=en&comple=on&redirect=on) they are suggesting the 'scanner' group, except for openSUSE11.2, which has the 'lp' group. BTW @aborigines: I would be very interested in how you managed to add a group to another. I googled my a** off but all I read said this is not possible.
