I have just installed M6. I have most things working. I have a Brother MFC-J6710W multifunction printer/scanner with the Brother latest drivers installed. I installed sane and xsane and can scan to xsane, Gimp, and Libreoffice. I do have another proprietary application (PDFStudio) which is a PDF reader and creator which I use. in M5 I could scan into it without problem to create PDF's. With the upgrade to M6 I cannot. I have looked around the internet, but no help. I have been in touch with the support at Qoppa (the makers of the application) and after providing them with a log file from the application their conclusion was that the log showed an error with Sane on the system.
The only thing I note is that saned is set to start when requested. I wonder if there is a way to start saned so it just runs in the background waiting. I am not sure if that is the problem. I have noted that Xsane gives an error when I first request a scan and then I just ask again and it works. This does not work for the application.
How do you start saned from the command line? And, how can I get it to start on boot? I cannot find it online. I have tried systemctl start and service start but get nothing. systemctl start saned just gives:
Failed to dump process list, ignoring: Unit saned.service not found.
● saned.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
service notes that saned is not an xinetd service
Would love any ideas you all may have.
