The scanner part of the multifunction Brother DCP7010 is OK with XSane (the driver comes from Brother : brscan2) Unfortunately, the documentation coming with the Dlink DPR 2000 is very poor. Here is the datasheet : ftp://ftp.dlink.fr/DPR/DPR-2000/Fiche_Technique/DPR-2000_A1_Datasheet.pdf
This print server is designed to printing and scanning. My multifunction is not listed in the supported list...but is functionnal in printing ...and I hope it could be the same with scanning.
