rc2 printing module not functional for scanning with xsane
Posted: 25 Jul 2013, 03:01
Porteus v 2.1 rc2 printing module is not functional for scanning with xsane for my brother MFC 7860DW multifunction printer. There is a similar problem under 64 bit.
The same printer will work under crunchbang.
My hypothesis is that something is wrong with xsane. I followed the procedure to install the scanner both usb mode and network mode as described in:
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1336
Once the scanner driver is installed whether usb or network, xsane interface will come up and ask to choose for usb or network scanning. Then the scanner will begin its operation and within a fraction of a second xsane interface will dissapear.
Notheworthy, scanning will work fine with simple scan, under the same conditions.
Are you experiencing problems with xsane on other printer models whether brother or other brands?
Do you have some solution to propose?
