| agneli | guys, anybody ever battled brother dcp-7055 scanner on arm? | 07:42 |
|---|---|---|
| agneli | drivers proviced are binary and i386/amd64 only | 07:42 |
| agneli | http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/brscan3-src-0.2.11-5.tar.gz&lang=English_source | 07:43 |
| agneli | i found this | 07:43 |
| agneli | but i need brscan4 | 07:43 |
| agneli | i tried various filenames but 0 success... | 07:43 |
| gnarface | i haven't tried it | 07:45 |
| gnarface | i put mine in "HP LaserJet 6" emulation mode and just don't use the scanner | 07:46 |
| gnarface | lemme know if you figure it out though | 07:46 |
| gnarface | (some other model of brother combo printer+scanner but i assume the same problem) | 07:46 |
| agneli | gnarface: there is this brlaser pronter driver seems great | 07:46 |
| agneli | gnarface: gve the model maybe brscan3 is good for yout hen sources above :) | 07:47 |
| gnarface | well the open source HP drivers work perfectly for the printer part if you enable that built-in emulation mode from the printer's LCD menu | 07:47 |
| gnarface | open source scanner drivers for any recent hardware seem pretty rare though | 07:47 |
| gnarface | it would work if they wanted it to work | 07:48 |
| gnarface | only thing i could suggest would be some crazy qemu setup | 07:49 |
| agneli | if they give brscan3 sources | 07:49 |
| gnarface | for printing, the overhead may not be too much | 07:49 |
| agneli | it is reasonable to assume brscan4 are there as well | 07:49 |
| agneli | i hope at least ;) | 07:49 |
| agneli | printing works, I need scanner | 07:50 |
| gnarface | hmmm | 07:50 |
| agneli | I just need to quess the link :) | 07:50 |
| agneli | *guess | 07:50 |
| agneli | https://github.com/groni/Sources | 08:03 |
| agneli | echhh... idk what it is but those files are too small I guess... | 08:06 |
| agneli | gnarface do you have any link to some of those quemu tutorials, please? :) | 08:12 |
| agneli | and will that work as a network scanner? :) | 08:13 |
| agneli | i downloaded this brscan3-src | 08:19 |
| agneli | it seems like sort of source code... | 08:20 |
| agneli | I can see some objects and one *.so file there... | 08:20 |
| gnarface | uh, qemu tutorials? no not really | 08:24 |
| gnarface | but in theory it would let you run the x86 drivers | 08:24 |
| gnarface | even if it was on arm hardware | 08:25 |
| gnarface | there would be a significant performance penalty, but like i said... for a printer server it shouldn't be crippling | 08:25 |
| agneli | http://www.drewanz.com/dieter/linux/CubieTruck/CubieTruck_Experiences_v160827.html#toc28 | 08:25 |
| agneli | that looks logical enough | 08:25 |
| agneli | scanner server, yes | 08:26 |
| gnarface | i thought there was no source at all for what you were trying to do though, i may have misunderstood that... the source doesn't have a ./debian/ directory in it at the top level by any chance, does it? | 08:26 |
| agneli | no | 08:26 |
| gnarface | if you think it'll build on arm it might be worth a try, i can't imagine there would be that many dependencies, but if it was debianized that makes things much easier | 08:27 |
| agneli | maybe I will try I will see | 08:28 |
| agneli | for me brscan4 is needed :( | 08:28 |
| agneli | so no huge motivation to test this one | 08:28 |
| gnarface | for some reason i thought their new stuff was binary-only | 08:28 |
| gnarface | but it has been a while since i looked into it | 08:28 |
