If I remember right I had to create a directory in either root or home
called brscan. I'm moving my stuff to the new opensuse 12.3 and have not
test brscan-key yet.
Also you mentioned you had to put an entery in 56-sane-backends. I have
no entry there but I did have to put one in 55-libsane.rules. Their
instructions dropped adding ATTR{idProduct}== part. Once I added it
things worked fine.
55-libsane.rules (May not be on your distro)
[CODE]
# Brother MFC-J6710DW
ATTR{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTR{idProduct}=="0263", MODE="0664",
GROUP="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
[/CODE]
Cannot help with sand since I do not have any remote access to my
system.
Please post if you find solution. Oh have you tried Brothers email Linux
support. They were helpful when I first got my printer and there were a
couple of bugs in the driver. Don't have the link handy, still on my
12.2 side.
