So far, my DCP-7010, which is connected by USB, works as a printer only, but I should also like to set it up as a scanner. In my prehistoric SuSE 10.1, it still works, but under Leap 15.1 its installation is obviously a problem.
The DCP-7010 is still supported in Leap 15.0, but it is so old that support may now have been dropped in 15.1. However, it seems strange that scanner support for the DCP-7010 would have been dropped, but the printer function is still supported.
From https://support.brother.com/, I downloaded linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1.gz, which I unzipped and then executed. It then downloaded and installed the following rpm's: brdcp7010lpr-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm brscan-skey-0.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm brscan2-0.2.5-1.x86_64.rpm cupswrapperDCP7010-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm As you can see, the scanner software was included in the printer installation package. After the installation the printer was found by Yast, but the scanner not.
Check /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules to see if it contains these lines (apologies for the line wrap):
# Brother DCP-7010 ATTR{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTR{idProduct}=="0182", MODE="0664", GROUP="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
Yes, these two lines are present. They had already been present before I performed the printer installation described above.
If it does not, you will need to go to the Brother website [...]
Note: if those 2 lines *are* already present in the rules file then I have absolutely no idea what the problem might be.brscan2
Today I had the idea to try the 32-bit versions of brscan-skey and brscan2, which are also available on https://support.brother.com/ brscan-skey-0.2.4-1.i386.rpm brscan2-0.2.5-1.i386.rpm But I did not manage to install them as long as the 64-bit versions are installed, and removing them fails. So the 64-bit versions are a trap. With my next computer, I am going to be more careful and install the 32-bit versions manually before installing the printer such that the irremovable 64-bit versions will no more be installed automatically. Anyway I thank you very much for your instructions. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
