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

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" If it does not, you will need to go to the Brother website to get the necessary drivers. The printer is so old that Brother doesn't even list it anymore, but the drivers for the DCP-7020 are compatible. You will need brscan2 and brscan-skey which are both available as 64-bt rpm packages. Download them to any convenient place and install them however you wish. (You may even add the folder where they are located as a repository in Yast.) Once the rpm's are installed, Yast should detect the scanner. For an ordinary user to be able to use it, it may be necessary to add those 2 lines to 55-libsane.rules (the installation may add this line automatically, I have forgotten this detail :) It's probably a good idea to add them right after the line LABEL="libsane_usb_rules_begin" Note: if those 2 lines *are* already present in the rules file then I have absolutely no idea what the problem might be.
yast2 does not recognize the scanner's driver even though it seems to be present on the computer as can be verified by "sane-find-scanner", which yields the reply:
The output from sane-find-scanner does not mean the drivers are installed on the system; it only means that a scanner was identified at that USB port, and the vendor and product IDs have been obtained from the device. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
