scanner recognized but says sane_start: Invalid argument

[Linda]

I'm not really sure which package this problem is in. This report is from "ubuntu-bug sane".

I tried "ubuntu-bug libsane" but it went to sane-backends.

linda@gazelle:~$ scanimage -L

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

linda@gazelle:~$ 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

I originally reported the bug here (comments of elindarie):

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1312594

and here

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380414

where I also uploaded some gscan2pdf log and config files. Gscan2pdf also gives "invalid argument".

I installed the Brother drivers. The scanner is working with an older Debian laptop (32-bit) but not a newer Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit) laptop.

Added the following line to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0293", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

If someone could tell me what more debugging to do - where to put print statements into a driver and recompile it into a development location for testing, I would gladly compare its output to that from the working Debian laptop.

Thank you.

To see if this is already resolved, could you please test http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?

Hi Christopher,

I don't remember what this was about - probably at first my Brother printer
did not work with Ubuntu. But a year ago or so, Brother updated their
scanner drivers, and that fixed it.

Best,

Linda
