Hello Charlie,
It would appear that you are not subscribed to debian-user. Have
you
seen all the replies to your post that await you there?
Yes, I have. I just haven't had time to act on them. I did
download
a driver from the Brother site but it had no effect. I suspect
there's
something I'll have to do with xsane to get it to find the
scanner.
I've poked that driver a bit and it looks like only USB-connection
is well supported, and there is no "Scan from your Computer (Linux)"
section in the manual either. [1]
There is a mention about "conf_ip" utility, but it looks like
Brother began to implement "Direct Scan over Network" feature and
never finished.
You might try to follow the instructions from "How to Install"
section [2] and setup IP address of the scanner on PC:
$ sudo conf_ip 192.168.xxx.xxx
All things considered, it might be indeed easier to setup FTP/SFTP
or CIFS (Samba) server on your PC and create a scanner profile to
scan directly into FTP directory or SMB share. [3]
Even workflow looks more efficient that way:
[Go to scanner] > [Place documents] > [Select profile] >
[Start scanning] > [Retrieve documents] > [Go back to PC]
In comparison to:
[Go to scanner] > [Place documents] > [Go back to PC] >
[Select profile] > [Start scanning] > [Go to scanner] >
[Retrieve documents] > [Go back to PC]
