Brother printer - scanner

[William Frick]

I have a Wireless HP4599 All in One working completely with 9.10. Scan, Print and card slot !  The HPLIB package is pretty fool proof set up. It spooks some visitors when it spits out a page while on the far side of the room !

I have my Brother AIO (the dreaded MFC420CN no less!) working fine - printing, card reader and scanning (through GIMP).



Best instructions I have found are on the Brother Linux Support pages... take special note of the section on how to setup your Ubuntu machine BEFORE you start installing the printer, scanner and scan key drivers. Scan key is the 'key' app here as it allows GIMP to access the scanner directly.



In 9.10 for whatever reason there is a bugaboo with Xsane wanting to run as sudo only. In user mode you will get a consistent 'no device found' error. To test your install I use a terminal with 'sudo xsane' as the command. The only other oddity I get is on occasion the card reader won't see my XD card, but a simple restart of the AIO usually fixes that in a jiffy...



Hope this helps...

        I just noticed the Xsane scanner under applications, but even with the

        printer/scanner on Xsane does not find any scanner. I run Karmic Koala

        also. My printer is a Brother DCP195c.
