[Bug 258058] Re: Brother DCP 7020 uses wrong drivers

[ethana2]

Jaunty Alpha 3.

I plug my printer in and it immediately selects the wrong driver.
Unlike, say, a Human Being, I know it's wrong.  I set it to the HL-1250
Driver as I do with every Ubuntu release with this same old lingering
bug.  I print a test page and, of course, it works.

I open xsane.
Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/video0': Invalid argument
As usual.

You try to run XSane as ROOT, that really is DANGEROUS!
Do not send any bug reports when you have any problems while running XSane as root: YOU ARE ALONE!

Gee thanks, XSane.  I didn't already know that.  I've seen that every time I've gone to scan something for the last two years, I'm alone and unloved, I think I've got it by now.
Ope, same error.  I guess I've got to navigate Brother's site and download their Completely GPL licensed, already .deb packaged, fully functional and stable printer scanner.  I don't have time for that right now.  Next bug.

Low hanging fruit if I ever saw it.  Cleanup in Aisle 12.
