Public bug reported: When multifunction device Brother MF-5890CN was configured on Ubntu 16.04 using instructions provided by Brother xsane/sane-fine- scanner/scanimage -L are unable to detect the device.
The critical fix to make this work is described here https://alephnull.uk/content/ubuntu-brother-printer-scanner-network-setup Then (critical bit) create these links - for some reason the 32 bit and 64 bit compatibility scripts have fallen down here (probably due to the non-standard nature of the Brother deb packages): sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/libbrscandec3.so* /usr/lib sudo ln -sf /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother3.so* /usr/lib/sane the directory /usr/lib/sane also didn't existed and must be created before the above links are created sudo mkdir /usr/lib/sane ** Affects: sane-backends (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576012 Title: Xsane cannot find Brother MF-5890CN scanner configured using brsaneconfig3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1576012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
