Scan with Brother Printer DCP-140W

English Network/Internet
1

HI.

OS opensuse 12.3 63bit.

I have the Brother DCP-140W installed, and it works ok via wireless on my local network.

As the printer is an All In One, I also want to be able to use it’s scan function.

For that, I have installed software/drivers from the Brother support site, but have had no luck getting the scan up running.

Are there any install guide somewhere on the opensuse site for it on how to set it up for scanning via the wireless network.

Thanks in advance

Erik

Sorry, it is the DCP-J140W I have here.

rpm  -ihv  --nodeps brscan-skey-0.2.4-0.x86_64.rpmPreparing...                          ################################# [100%]

I have chosen the brscan4 as it's the one for the printer.

rpm -ihv --nodeps brscan4-0.4.1-3.x86_64.rpm

brsaneconfig4 -q | grep SCANNER
  0 SCANNER             "DCP-J140W"         I:192.168.1.14

And it works now. I more carefully read the Brother links this time :wink:

Many thanks for making me do that
