Hi, i dont have high hopes for an answer, but perhaps someone has a solution
i have the named printer (printing works) and try to get the ADF working. I have installed brscan5 and brscan-skey, the flatbed scanner works, just not the ADF. Not one scannerapp is recognizing the ADF.
The weird thing is, i had it working some weeks ago. Looks like an update killed the functionality.
Thank you very much for answering, but thats not the solution.
i dont have auto crop in the brother software
ADF is and was working perfectly fine under windows.
its not related to L2730DW
this are the details which prevent the year of the linux desktop.
Meanwhile I would take a prop. software for that daily stuff, really, can it plz just - work ?
Just installed the brother driver packages on my wifes Kubuntu, scanner ADF works oob. Only difference i saw, was that the package was installing brsaneconfig4 instead of 5.
So i switched to that on manjaro but no luck.
You can see the version of cups and driver, for example, then see which versions you have in your package cache.
That’s not the right conclusion. You can still look for older versions in your cache and try them. Don’t forget to reload and restart services, or reboot, after installing a new package (especially cups).
ok, thx, i try that when my system is booting again. After the last updates 2 days ago i have only a black screen with cursor and tty login says wrong password. I hope one of the posted solutions works
looks like i got it solved (without deb package), not very clean but the ADF is recognized by skanlite
Had to add the scanner with brsaneconfig5 -a FRIENDLYNAME,NAME, IP etc
No i have a third scanner device with ADF
device v4l:/dev/video2' is a Noname UVC Camera (046d:0825) virtual device device escl : http: // 192.168.0.243:80’ is a ESCL Brother MFC-L2730DW series flatbed scanner
device `brother5:net1;dev0’ is a Brother
where is that name (brother5) coming from ? This is all so weird
