I have a Brother MFC-9560CDW printer. The printer is hooked up wireless to the router. From the router it is connected via Ethernet cable to my FreeBSD machine. I also have four Microsoft machines on the network. They are all networked together wireless.
Now, the five computers can all see each other and I can print to the printer, using CUPS from my FreeBSD machine. The problem is with scanning. I don't expect to be able to access the scanning features of the printer via the FreeBSD machine. There is no software available for it. However, I would like to be able to scan directly from the scanner into my FreeBSD machine. At present, I can scan and save from the scanner to any of my Microsoft machines. The scanner does not even "see" the FreeBSD machine, so it cannot save a scan to it. Brother makes software for some *.nix distributions, but not FreeBSD. Their support network said that they cannot assist me. Presently my only option is to save to a Microsoft machine, whether or not I intended to use the document on that machine, and then transfer it to the FreeBSD machine. Does anyone know of a way of getting the scanner to "see" the FreeBSD machine and saving a file to it? -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
