usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,devmode=0666 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
the line “proc /proc proc defaults 0 0” I have never seen this before could this be the problem would be delighted with any help
Usually, it should be like this:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
udev should take care of the device handling for you.
hi again
got a solution on this sent a e-mail to Brother and they got back to me on the same day when installing the driver for the scanner. I did not use rpm -ihv --nodeps (scanner-drivername) instead I used rpm -ihv (scanner-drivername) anyone looking for to install the driver for the dcp-135c scanner here is the link.
Brother Solutions Center : Brother Driver for Linux Distributions .
hope this helps
