Started using TC about 2 weeks ago. Great! I plan to use a small mini-ITX box as a central
server. I have NFS running well and am trying to install SANE and a Brother DCP-7020 printer/scanner. Brother has .deb and .rpm files for Linux drivers. I used "ar" from base
to extract the files from the .deb archive. There are a couple of setup scripts and the
expected backend libraries.
Installed sane-backends no problem. I don't quite understand the architecture of TC. After
installing sane-backends I see there is a /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf (which is a link to
/tmp/tcloop/...). This file is "read-only". I can't "edit" this file, but I can "replace" the link
by "sudo cp myfile /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf", where "myfile" contains only the line
"brother2". Also, I can create /etc/sane.d and place a dll.conf in that directory. So I want
to understand the "precedence" or the right place to put dll.conf. Will /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
supersede the /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf?
When I used sane-find-scanner I can "see" the DCP-7020 (right bus, etc). When I try
to scan (scanimage -L or xsane) the scanner can't be found. I put the Brother drivers in
/usr/lib, /usr/bin, etc.
Am I on the right track? Or do I need to "install" some of the libraries and dll.conf into another
directory?
Thanks for any help!
