I am trying to get my multifunction scanner to work. It is a Brother MFC-J6710W. I don't know what happened as it was working in the past and I have not changed or installed anything new.
I have reinstalled the scan software from Brother and checked that /etc/udev/rules.d/60libsane.rules has been correctly edited so a non-root user can use the scanner.
sane-find-scanner finds the scanner and it is listed in lsusb
I can scan from my scanner to my computer using the scan key
But, scanimage -L says no scanner is connected even when I try from root.
Everything is plugged in and I can print to the mutltifunction printer/scanner.
Not sure what to do next. Xsane cannot find it. I have even rebooted twice.
