Hi Guys,
Today, I needed a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.10 on my PC. Unfortunately this
blew up my printer drivers and worse still - my scanner drivers. I use a
Brother model DCP-J315W.
Brother provide drivers for Linux on their website but they have never worked
correctly for the scanner in the past 5 years. However, I have been able to
work around that failure by editing the file 40-libsane.rules or
60-libsane.rules depending upon which era we operated.
This file does not seem to be the same in Ubuntu 20.10 and there may be a file
called 20.sane.hwdb that needs to list my Brother device.
Can you please advise how I can get my Brother DCP-J315W added to the sane
approved lists so that it can function under Ubuntu 20.10?
