IDK if the API's would be compatible but if a brother4.conf could be carved up that used what the brother supplied debs installed in /opt/brother: ======================= /opt/brother/scanner: total 8 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 30 15:02 brscan4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 30 15:02 brscan-skey /opt/brother/scanner/brscan4: total 44 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 936 Nov 23 18:58 Brsane4.ini -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24040 Nov 23 18:58 brsaneconfig4 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 78 Apr 30 15:02 brsanenetdevice4.cfg drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 30 15:02 doc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 30 15:02 models4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 388 Nov 23 18:58 setupSaneScan4 /opt/brother/scanner/brscan4/doc: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 30 15:02 brscan4 /opt/brother/scanner/brscan4/doc/brscan4: total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75 Nov 23 18:58 readme.txt /opt/brother/scanner/brscan4/models4: total 64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 224 Nov 23 18:58 ext_10.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1212 Nov 23 18:58 ext_11.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 528 Nov 23 18:58 ext_12.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 432 Nov 23 18:58 ext_13.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 691 Nov 23 18:58 ext_14.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182 Nov 23 18:58 ext_15.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1098 Nov 23 18:58 ext_16.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 578 Nov 23 18:58 ext_1.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79 Nov 23 18:58 ext_2.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 676 Nov 23 18:58 ext_3.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 541 Nov 23 18:58 ext_4.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103 Nov 23 18:58 ext_5.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 213 Nov 23 18:58 ext_6.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 667 Nov 23 18:58 ext_7.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 426 Nov 23 18:58 ext_8.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 141 Nov 23 18:58 ext_9.ini /opt/brother/scanner/brscan-skey: total 140 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 99 Apr 30 15:02 brscan_mail.config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50 Apr 30 15:02 brscan_mailmessage.txt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1160 May 13 2013 brscan-skey -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 109318 May 13 2013 brscan-skey-0.2.4-0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 312 Apr 30 15:02 brscan-skey-0.2.4-0.cfg -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11779 May 13 2013 brscan-skey-0.2.4-1.sh drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 30 15:02 script /opt/brother/scanner/brscan-skey/script: total 48 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24719 May 13 2013 brscan_scantoemail-0.2.4-0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5149 Apr 30 15:02 scantoemail-0.2.4-1.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 689 Apr 30 15:02 scantofile-0.2.4-1.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 706 Apr 30 15:02 scantoimage-0.2.4-1.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 867 Apr 30 15:02 scantoocr-0.2.4-1.sh =============================== that would be a treat. The Apr 30 15:02 dated files are apparently what I created when I discovered the darned thing had a web page that essentially duplicates its front panel and setup some config options that were fill in the blanks type entries. kludgy to edit one character at a time from the front panel.
