Sane printer/scanner access fails intermittently

[David Oxland]

For a year or two my Brother DCP-7065DN scanner worked well after being installed but now has become unreliable and ultimately unusable. (permission denied)
 Calling for a scan defaults to a sane application which always faults now.
 Looking on SANE documents I do not see it mentioned as supported.
 They do say If it's not supported "Please tell the author with no mention of how to tell the author)
Recently upgraded to 15.04 and updates always daily current.

Issue resolved. Scanner was a Brother DCP7065 DN, if it helps and has worked fine for quite some time. The more I use the scan programs the more I learn about them.
