Scanner is Brother ADS1000W and I tried following the recipe laid out in this post. Commands with #
done as root, $
as user.
Installed the rpm from Brother:
# rpm -ihv --nodeps brscan4-0.4.8-1.x86_64.rpm
# lsusb
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 04f9:60a6 Brother Industries, Ltd ADS-1000W
# scanimage -V
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.27; backend version 1.0.27
# scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
# sane-find-scanner
sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe errorfound USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9 [Brother], product=0x60a6 [ADS-1000W]) at libusb:003:004
Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend’s manpage.

# scanimage -L
still does not see the scanner.
Maybe I missed something? I have never scanned anything in linux before and this is the tool we used to scan receipts and official documents. I’m not sure how to even “scan” in linux, looks like I’ll try to install gscan2pdf
??
Thanks,
