I’m tryning to run Brother DCP 7057. No luck since the biginning. I have searched the internet, read the whole Brother site, followed the instructions provided there and nothing.
The sad thing is that now I’m running openSuse LXDE and no matter how hard I try it doesn’t work but on Lubuntu it worked without problems.
> DCP 7057
Do you have a DCP7057 or a DCP7057WR since they have seperate listed
drivers on the Brothers website. Did you use the Brothers drivers
and follow the directions step by step.
You should load bother the LPR and the cupswrapper versions. and for
openSUSE make sure you grab the rpm version.
Cannot help much more except to say on my MFC-J6710DW printer the
brothers drive works fine on openSUSE 12.2 and 12.3. I noticed the
ones for your printer are alittle older but should work.
I have tried both and moved step by step very carefully not to miss something or mistype.No the funny thing is that at some point the printer was alive and printed one page so I though - lets move to the scanner and after reboot the scanners didn’t start working and the printer stopped working.Edit:To be more precise - when I hit Simple Scan I can hear that the scanner starts moving - just like a normal pre scan move of the scanning head but then it stops and an error in program pops out.
I did as you requested and here is what happened:I have triple checked on the back of the machine - it is DCP-7057 without any additions.The printer started to work with DCP-7057 when I did the procedure once again.This gave me hope but with the scanner - no luck.I did as in the brother page and started Simple-scan from terminal as root. As I wrote the scanner is started, the head moves and then an error pops out ;(

Still no luck. I have tested Simple Scan and XSane
I didn’t do it as I only have a usb connection and it worked just fine on Lubuntu. The good thing is that the prnter works.As I wrote: starting the Simple Scan as root or user gives the same results ( I did the procedure for normal users - in my last post I wrote about root because brother asked to launch it like this in their tutorial - for the first time launch) - the scanning head starts to move like it is calibrating and the it stops. So there is some sort of connection but the question is why does it stop and blasts an error.
I’ve connected to a number of Brother printer/scanner devices over the years and have not yet experienced a driver issue, but I guess there is always a possibility of a bug, (in which case you’d need to contact Brother for support).
Some things to check/try:
Confirm that the correct driver is explicitly listed in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. You should find the brother4 entry uncommented like this
.
.
#umax
#umax_pp
#umax1220u
#v4l
#xerox_mfp
# The hpaio backend is provided by the hplip package:

brother4
You mentioned that you have tried simple-scan…it might be worth giving iscan and/or xsane a shot too, although I doubt whether that will change anything.
As you configured the scanner via yast, (I always do by hand for scanners), I assume you have a udev rule for your scanner? Check in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory for the rules file
You may need to check with ‘lsusb’ command that this is the correct product ID first. (You can always create a ruled file manually if necessary eg 50-brother.rules)
I have tried xsane - it looks like that the head goes till the end not like with Simple scan bu an error pops out and it is a no go.
Creating a separate 50-brother.rules doesn’t help ;(
After each change I’m doeing a reboot just to be on the safe side.
Simple scan does see the scanner as I can hear the head calibrating and after it stops and after the error pops out there is an option to change the scanner and I can see that it recognizes Brother 7057.
The funny thing is that I think it can not be a brother bug as it worked on Lubuntu which is the same as openSuse LXDE (you know what I mean -it’s not KDE or GNOME). It has to be something with Suse but the question is what

Thanks deano, I was trying to remember where the change to Libsane
rules were. I remembered the .dll.conf change. In the install
instructions Brother left out the product ID for the rule change. I
thought I wrote it down but I cannot find it. I have an MFC-J6719DW.
on my 12.3 system there is no 50-brother rule. The entry was put in
55-libsane.rules. I also get the out of memory error when I run
scanimage -T command. I finally gave up trying to use scanner the
normal way and installed the Brother Scan-tool option. It works but
is a manual operation. If you fins a cure could you please post it?

I think you want to take the * out of the idProduct.
Here’s example of mine:

OKHere I go again - did all the info from Brother site, changed everything as adviced here and no go. The **** thing doesn’t want to work.It worked as su but after rebbot stoped.I need this scaner in my work. Why is opensuse doeing this to me
For now I have jumped ship to xfce and will try to do everything again.
The funny thing is that it worked for su, and when doeing the steps to run as user it stopped working both for su and user and pops out the memory issue. I do not understand - which memory is to low?
And the cherry - everything worked like a charm o Lubuntu 13.04… but it stopped on 13.10, and then I went to openSuse and the same thing
Brother live chat told me that they do not have a 7057 listed in USA and I should contact my country support but they have not responded me.
