Excellent.

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

Peasyscan

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: Select all

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: Select all

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.
