[GTALUG] Help to setup for scanning

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

| From: o1bigtenor <o1bigtenor at gmail.com>

| I have installed the proprietary drivers. Have installed XSane backend and
| frontend.

SANE is the collection of scanner drivers

Xsane is a GUI program (crude but powerful) that is from the same
project.  simplescan is a lot simpler.

Any scanning software needs to find the scanner.  googling will show
you the drill (which I don't remember).

| Can't decipher how to setup their web based setup tool.

I didn't use a GUI for setting up my Brother printer/scanner.  There
was a gui involved in telling the scanning software where the driver
is.

What I think that I did:

- installed brscan4 binary

- brsaneconfig4 -a name=BrotherScanner model=DCP-7065dn ip=192.168.2.12
  (a different IP)

- brsaneconfig4 -q
  First device is numbered 0.

Remember to put a hole in your firewall. UDP 54925, I think.
