I think that it should be
Code:
brsaneconfig2 -a name=scanner model=MFC-440CN ip=192.168.0.100


What error messages do you get?

Also try the command
Code:
brsaneconfig2 -q

brsaneconfig2 -q listed all the scan drivers including MFC-440CN

brsaneconfig2 -a name=scanner model=MFC-440CN ip=192.168.0.100 was accepted

Ran Xsane and it returned "No Devices Available" OOPS!!

I noticed that "Puppy Package Manager" installed the scan drivers rather than "Debbi" Should that make any difference?

I thought I had lost my Puppy flashdrive install this morning. I had to reboot five times before the graphics driver worked. The desktop would start to load and then go blank. If this repeats I will try to change the driver.

I notice that Brother also has a Scan Key Tool. Should that be installed also?

If the PPM has an entry for brscan2-0.2.5, then you installed the package simply by clicking on it, as opposed to using debbi. If so, your install is incomplete. You need to run
Code:
debbi brscan2-0.2.5-1.i386.deb

OK Boss.

The reinstall using Debbi worked

Thanks again.

I am learning lots of things about Linux. If it were not for people like you, we would all be stuck in Windoze.

Excellent.

Could you do a test for me? Install Peasyscan and see if it works with your Brother scanner.

Downloaded and installed Peasyscan and Tesseract Pets.


Did a jpg and an ocr scan using your instructions.

Both worked fine.

Thanx.

Excellent.

After some thought, I realize that we could have got this printer installed with less trouble. At the point where we knew that the connection URI was
Code:
lpd://BRN_AEFDAC/BINARY_P1

we could have left it that way.

We would then have added a line to the file /etc/hosts.
Code:
192.168.0.100 BRN_AEFDAC

In this setup, CUPS would look up the IP address from the hosts file and send the print job on its way.

Either way, I assume that when I have to reboot my wireless router, and it assigns new IP addresses to the hardware, I will have to adjust my files accordingly.

Or you can use the method here.
