[SOLVED] Brother DCP-L2560DW wireless scanning
I installed brother-brgenml1 and everything works fine, except wifi scanning. I tried with Brother Sane drivers for brscan4 compatible models, but Sane/Simplescan finds only my laptop webcam and another network printer on my home network.
I also tried with:
brsaneconfig -a name="Brother" model="DCP-L2560DW" ip=xxx.xxx.x.xxx but it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Printer: Brother DCP-L2560DW 3 in 1 Duplex
My system:
Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.11.4
Kernel: 4.14.8-1-ARCH x86_64

Re: [SOLVED] Brother DCP-L2560DW wireless scanning
I'm assuming that by "Brother Sane drivers for brscan4 compatible models" you mean that you have installed the brscan4 AUR package as mentioned on the wiki page?
The wiki also suggests specifying the IP address in the /etc/sane.d/net.conf file, have you tried that?

Re: [SOLVED] Brother DCP-L2560DW wireless scanning
I think you should have used brsaneconfig4 and not brsaneconfig.
Worked for me (DCP-L2520DW)
However, the scanning is very erratic and frequently stops mid-course. I wonder if this is a driver issue.
Do you think there is a way of using Avahi ? like machine.local address. Didn't work when I tried.
Cheers.

Thanks pypi, but actually it was not needed.. I removed "brscan3" and "brscan4" packages and started from scratch. I installed brscan4 again and:
- brsaneconfig4 -a name=Brother_DCP-L2560DW model=DCP-L2560DW ip=xxx.xxx.x.xxx
- sudo brsaneconfig4 -d:
