If you could provide a link to the page with the instructions that would probably help us a lot, and we'd probably be able to walk you through it.

Cheers,

Hi again,

Unfortunately that link goes to an index page, and I can't find the page you're talking about. I'll post again when I find it. If you have an exact URL for the page that would be great.

Thanks,

Matt

sorry matt i found the web site
after downloading the driver and loading it i went to FAQ page (scanner
related ) and the question is the first one
hope that helps john

Hi,

Thanks for the link, If I'm right the question you need a hand on is this one: "I cannot use the scanner function with a normal user. When scanning I receive the error "Error during device I/O". (only for USB Users)".

If it is you should be able to do the following to get it to work (If you're using edgy or feisty, if you're not just say):

 1. Open up the Terminal from the main menu (It's in accessories)
 2. Type in "sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules" (without the ")
      * If you use KDE replace gedit with kate.
 3. Paste the following text into the file:

===========
SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", ACTION!="add", GOTO="_end"
# For brother
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04f9", MODE="666", GROUP="scanner"
LABEL="_end"
===========

 4. Save it.
 5. Restart and then enjoy the scanner shaped goodness. :)

I hope this has solved you problem.

Thanks,
Matt

 thanks for the reply you want to know what os i am using .
i am using 6.06(dapper) i hope that helps you. i shoud off said from the
beging
all the best john

In that case this should work:

 1.Open the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules" with an editor.
 2.Add the following description to the file as below:

 1. Open up the Terminal from the main menu (It's in accessories)
 2. Type in "sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules" (without the ")
      * If you use KDE replace gedit with kate.
 3. Paste the following text into the file (in the FAQ it emphasises it is a description, if there is a description area in this file paste it in there):

=================
#brother
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04f9",MODE="666",GROUP="scanner"
LABEL="libsane_rules_end"
=================

 4. Save it.
 5. Restart and then enjoy the scanner shaped goodness. :)

This should work for you.

Cheers,

Matt
