Brother DCP-150C - Scanner not working

Hi!
I am trying to make my scanner scan but it just doesnt work...It isn't found.
This is what i did:
- Downloaded these files:
brscan-skey-0.2.1-1.i386.rpm
brscan2-0.2.4-0.i386.rpm
dcp150ccupswrapper-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
dcp150clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
(Which is scanner and printer-drivers)
- Extracted them with rpmextract so i got a subfolder "usr" which i copied to /
Now: Printer is working flawlessly, only the scanner makes problems.
Here's the output of sane-find-scanner:
sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x01cf) at libusb:002:002
but:
scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
(as root)
I have tried to use the brother-program "brsaneconfig2" by adding my Scanner to it, but it didnt have any use.
What am i doing wrong? I can't think of anything more to do, it's frustrating. Damn binary drivers
Thanks in advance,
Hauke

Brother DCP-120C does not print

I am having issues with my Brother DCP-120C. It worked well a while, but now i encounter some problems.
When starting the cups daemon i get this error message in my error.log:
E [13/Jan/2010:19:11:25 +0100] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported
I installed the brother-mfc210c-fixed-version package beforehand.
Any ideas?

Additional information:
The cups daemon starts anyway, even with the error message. In the cups web frontend i see my installed printer (MFC210). If i print a testpage or something else, a print job is created but never executed. Cups seems to wait endlessly until something happens.

HP Laserjet 3052 Scanner not working

So I upgraded to Leopard and everything seems fine except I cannot run the HP Scan software. The printer [art still works but I just cannot scan. I have tried reinstalling the software but it still not working. HP have no new software and drivers for it yet.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks,

I can confirm what everybody else in this thread has said and add one detail. I bought an HP 3055 all-in-one yesterday and after installing the software, not only wouldn't it scan ("waiting for PC..." forever) but it also wouldn't print, AND another HP printer elsewhere on my network STOPPED working.
After an hour on the phone with HP support (10 minutes just to register my info), the guy confirmed that there is no 10.5 driver, didn't know when there would be one, and added the following amazing fact. Not only does the software on the CD that comes with the printer/scanner not work with 10.5, it actually BREAKS its printing from Leopard (and similarly the 10.4 or earlier downloadable drivers from hp.com). He claimed that printing from 10.5 works on the 3055 out of the box, but if you are so reckless as to install the software that actually came with the printer, it permanently stops working. (Plus, apparently, stops the printing of other HP devices.)
He went on to say the only fix was to re-install the Mac OS . However, I can report that after un-installing every piece of HP software on my machine (using their uninstallers, not just deleting), then restarting, the printer now works, and so does the other HP printer on the network. (Scanning still doesn't work.)
Btw, echoing other complaints on this thread, the reason I bought a new HP scanner was because my old one had stopped working ever since (I think) 10.4, and I finally gave up.

HP Printer F4180- Scanner not working

I've installed Snow Leopard, but now its now letting me scan. It will print documents, but when I click 'scan' it says 'scanner not found'. I thought this update was supposed to make using my printer easier!!! Can anyone tell me how to sort this out? I depend on this scanner to create work and this is frustrating to say the least!
Thanks,
T SCOTT

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

Just upgraded my Cannon MP Navigator App for my multi-purpose printer/scanner not working correctlly

After upgrading to Yosemite MP Navigator App for my Cannon scanner not working properly, Buttons are not active and do not respond .... it works on my laptop with Mavericks ... I will be reverting back to Mavericks .. I use my Scanner a lot . Apple please fix this problem.

I have the same problem with a Canon MP530 under Yosemite. I'm not sure why Canon can't get their act together to have updated drivers and software. Very aggravating.
I can confirm that pmt513's workaround works. That's fine for single pages. But what about batch scanning?
Here's another partial workaround. The main MP Navigator interface still allows you to do the scanning, both single pages and batches. You just can't save, send, or export those scans. But the temporary files are on your disk in TIF format. If you don't mind taking those and converting them to PDF or JPG (which you can do in Preview), then just look in the following folder to the files:
~/Library/Caches/Temporaryitems/MP Navigator 2.2/SCN_MFP
I have put an alias to it on my desktop so that I can easily access the scans. Be sure to copy the TIF files out before you close (and thus clear) the MP Navigator window as that also clears the files from that cache folder.
I hope this helps some of you.

Mavericks 10.9.5 -- Brother MFC-7320 does not work.

Hi apple folks,
Mavericks 10.9.5 --> Brother MFC-7320 does not work.
I just have downloaded the driver form
http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadhowto.aspx?c=gb&lang=en&prod=mfc7320_eu&o s=132&dlid=dlf005077_000&flang=4&type3=20
Despite the fact that I followed the step by step instructions from the Brother website, unfortunately, Mavericks does not recognize my printer.
Any helping hand?
Thanks.
Marko

The current driver for that printer is available for auto-download from Apple servers when you add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.
If you've downloaded an older version, it may not work.
I see on this page that there is a firmware update for the printer. You should do that too.

Brother DCP 130C Printer not connecting tO mac OSX 10.6.8

Following the upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard my Brother DCP 130 C Printer not working have tried downloading upgrade without success

I have to raise a different view point. Many users of macs are ordinary, non-techie people, who simply want a machine to do basic things. I know people with very old macs, and they are happily using them for simple purposes. I have 10.6.8, and any upgrade would cost me some money to upgrade parallels. Macs can run for years, and I believe that it is important for equipment to be able to be used for long periods of time, if the user wishes. Also, earlier OS are very commonly unsed in coutries where money and internet is not as available as to many of us.
I also use a mac with XP as I need a small install base for only one PC based software that I occasionally use.
As a developer, I would expect them to look at the actual installed back of OS, and realise that some simple functionality should be backward to existing users. The ability for a phone to connect to earlier OS is something which I did not even think about - I thought it would be automatic. Its also not that difficult to develop.
The forums are awash with frustrated new pruchasers of Lumia phones, suddenly realising that their expected functionality with PC Suite, etc has now gone. Many of those people are very frustrated, and they will pass on their frustrations to others, and sales will be affected.
I have been a Nokia user now for about six years, and I have watched the same frustrations of users, requesting Nolia to develop expected connection, integration, and sync software that other phone manufacturers seem to be able to do. Finally, a reasonable PC Suite version is now developed, but not compatible with Lumia?? Do we have to go through the whole waiting thing again? Why cannot Nokia look at this not as a software problem, but an expected functionality feature.

Brother DCP 7020 Scanner Driver Problem

Hi,
Hadn't used the scanner on my Brother DCP 7020 in 6 months and couldn't remember how to do scans. Called Brother Tech Support and they reminded me that the icon for scanning is in the Menu Bar at top of screen. For reasons not clear to me at the time they also suggested I delete the Control Center and scanner drivers and download the latest ones from the Brother site. Alas after I did this when I attempted to install the scanner drivers I got the error message "The chosen volumn contains software newer than the software you are attempting to install." The tech said to ignore the message and press continue so I did. When I continued with the installation process I got the message "There is nothing to install."
The tech asked me to reboot but this did not solve the problem so he mumbled something about it being a Operating System problem and told me a higher level person would call me within 4 hours. You guessed it! nobody every called.
Today I tried reloading the drivers that came with the printer but when the process was complete Control Center was nowhere to be found. I tried calling Brother Tech Support again but they never called back.
Having no idea what the problem might be I tried Repairing Disk Permisions but that did not help. Next I booted from the original OS X disk and tried Repair Disk. The utility ran and said that there were "No repairs needed."
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here and what I can do to fix things?
Thanks,
Winston
After I did this he talked me through the install process

Hi,
Not sure I follow you. I downloaded the new drivers from the Brother site and when I went to install them I got the error message "nothing to install" or some such thing. Given that the dmg was on my desktop why would the computer not be able to "find" something to install?
I found a thread on this site that said that many folks had printer problems soon after installing the 10.4.11 update and on checking back I found that I haven't used the scanner since I installed 10.4.11. Since the tech guys at Brother mumbled something about it being an operating system problem I am wondering if Apple screwed something up in the 10.4.11 update and is ignoring the problem because of the recent release of 10.5?
Some folks on the other thread said that when they reverted back to 10.4.10 their printer problems went away so I'm wondering if that's what I should do to be able to reinstall the scanner drivers? Or are there worthwhile improvements on the 10.4.11 update that I should not throw away?
Must say that as some one with a technical background (ex race care mechanic) I never cease to be amazed at how Apple, Brother, and other computer companies simply walk away from their problems rather than deal with them. If the folks at Ferrari tried that back when I was in racing old Enzo wouldn't have been too happy. Wonder why ole Bill and Steve don't seem to mind?
All best,
Winston

Laserjet Pro M1536dnf MFP - scanner not working

I have just bought and installed an HP Laserjet Pro 1536dnf MFP. The copier and printer work, but I can't get the scanner to work. I have downloaded the software several times and triedn to install it, but it doesn't work. In the end it times out and says there is a 'fatal error'.
Any ideas? The printer didn't come with a USN cable, so I am using the one from my previous HP printer. Do you think that could be part of the problem?

Scanner not working with HP PSC 1210xi

I bought an HP PSC 1210xi All-In-One printer/copier/scanner off craigslist recently and I'm having trouble getting the scanner to work. I downloaded whatever driver I needed for printing and printing and copying are working perfectly. When I tried to scan, the on button, printer cartridge, and ink button blink simultaneously- I looked this up- it means scanner failure.
I've tried searching the forums and HP to find what I need to fix this but can't see to find the right thing. My operating system is OS X v10.5.8. please help!

The scanner on this model of HP is not supported in Leopard. I looked all over for the answer and found that only printer drivers are available. I've switched to a different machine for scanning.
