We cannot really help you on the brother stuff, since it is closed source, and not produced by us. But, we can suggest that you try the following:
comment out every line of dll.conf except for the the brother lines you need, and one other random backend (maybe, fujitsu). Then run: SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 scanimage -L and see if the resulting noise contains any information that might help you. allan On Tue, May 3, 2016 at 10:07 AM, Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > Greetings all; > > I just bought a Brother MFC-J6920DW, and installed the brother linux .deb > drivers that are "supposed" to let xsane run the scanner.
