Public bug reported: I am using Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Simple Scan, version 3.12.1-0ubuntu1, crashes when attempting to scan from Brother multi-function printer/scanner DCP-J4120DW.
I have installed the Brother drivers using the software linux-brpinter-installer-2.0.0-1 from the Brother support web site. I then edited the file /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules to add the two lines:- # Brother scanners ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" as per this web site:- http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1c.html?c=gb&lang=en&prod=dcpj4120dw_eu_as&redirect=on When scanning using Simple Scan the scanner starts the scanning process but Simple Scan crashes. Debug output:- Segmentation fault (core dumped) lsusb output:- Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04f9:0339 Brother Industries, Ltd I have installed xsane and the scanner works correctly with this software.
