next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I picked up a Brother MFC-7820N print/fax/scan/copy, seems like a good device for US$250 or so. My Mac can print and scan over the net to it fine. I've got FreeBSD printing to it with lpd and apsfilter. I'd like to be able to use its scan features from FreeBSD too. The Sane project shows this device with "good" support: http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html#S-BROTHER2 but this is using a closed-source binary driver from Brother: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/sane_drivers.html which is built for RedHat, mandriva/Mandrake, SuSE, FedoraCore, Debian. Anyone tried to get this working on FreeBSD? If not, any suggestions? Thanks.
