@ PeterPall: regarding the Epson scanner, yes it could be the firmware upload, the first root scan took time, I thought it was the scanner warming up longer than usual and not catching up, but I allowed time and it finally went through, so You may very well be right. I did not run lsusb -v, just a plain lsub, but before the root scan the scanner was detected as an epkowa driven unknown model, after the root scan it is detected with the proper model name.
@ Chris Rainey: regarding the Brother MFP, I can confirm that I ran the installer script and not the available deb packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728012 Title: Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/1728012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
