sane_start: Invalid argument on Brother DCP-8155DN scanner

[Linda]

The scanner works with an older Debian laptop, but not the newer Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit laptop.

Output of scanimage -L:
device `brother4:bus2;dev1' is a Brother DCP-8155DN USB scanner

Output of scanimage -T:
scanimage: rounded value of br-x from 215.9 to 215.88
scanimage: rounded value of br-y from 355.6 to 355.567
scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument

gscan2pdf doesn't work either, gives "invalid argument".

The scanner is connected in the USB 2.0 port.

I added the following line to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules :
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0293", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

Linda, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. For regression testing purposes, could you please test for this in Precise via http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ and advise to the results?

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for your email. I'm sorry, I'm afraid of messing up my
computer, which I use for work. My regrets.

If there is some way to put debug statements into some code for Ubuntu
14.04, and print the results, I would be glad to do that.

Linda

How? Are you asking if I will install an earlier version of Ubuntu on a USB flash drive?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Linda, live environment would be fine.
