Updated. Sorry for the delay.

Any plans to update this package? If not, I can pick it up for support.

Thanks for the pointers there. I tried all sorts but think deleting and re-creating the scanner and lp groups worked. Could be wrong of course. See: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1526293#p1526293

And , FWIW, its again DCP7055 and x86_64...

For a start you may try to find out the file permissions and ownership of your usb device. Find the device and bus number by 'lsusb' and the do a 'ls -l /dev/bus/usb/<your number>'. Check owner, group and file permissions. Something about the udev rule seem seems to prevent cups access (Group lp). It even may be that the brscan4 rules are getting overwritten by some sane or cups generic rules.

Looks like a permissions problem here ( DCP7055 x86_64) Without the udev rules, I can print but not scan. With the supplied udev rules (as created by the script), I cannot print and after disconnecting from USB, dmesg shows: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'scanimage' sets config #1 usbfs: process 9756 (scanimage) did not claim interface 1 before use My half-baked theory is that the mk-udev-rules scripts adds rules so the device (I'm not sure what or where exactly) is accessible to 'scanner' group preventing access by cups. My bodge is to allow user privileges by adding the following line to the end of /etc/udev/rules.d/brscan4.rules right before "LABEL="brscan4_end": ENV{libsane_matched}=="yes", MODE="666", GROUP="scanner" Not sure what this does for security...

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.
