Description Jérôme Hénin 2015-08-05 19:22:26 CEST

Description of problem:

The USB id of scanner Brother DCP-7055 is missing from the udev rules for libsane (60-libsane.rules).

The info is correct in the USB ID repository:
https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/04f9/0248

I added manually the following line:

# Brother DCP-7055
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0248", MODE="0644", GROUP="usb", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

It works for me *after installing the driver from Brother*. Is the ID missing because there is no out-of-the-box support?


Reproducible:

that file is taken (with some non-significant processing) from tools/udev/libsane.rules from the sane-backends-1.0.24 package (which is the latest version of the package). So we should probably ask the upstream developers why it isn't included.

Are you sure we're sane :-) ?

Comment 5 José Jorge 2015-09-14 20:53:37 CEST

This is a bug because Brother does not want to work with sane : they instruct in their driver installation site to do this manually. They could at least provide their rule file in the upstream rpms, so I suggest you contact upstream Brother.
