Scanner MFC-5890CN not detected in sane

I bought a multifunction printer Brother MFC-5890CN and the scanner is not detected. I have connected the printer by wired network
After installing the drivers from Brother and configured it, the printer don't have it problem, and correctly print, but not the scanner
The output that I have with brscan-skey -l:
MFC5890CN: brother3: net1; dev0: 192.168.1.5 Active
with scanimage-L
No Scanners Were Identified. If You Were Expecting Something Different,
That check 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).
Any help is welcome
Greetings

AFAIK most Brother MFC's do not work with sane, thus scanimage will not work. You need to use the Brother scanning utility. So you make sure you have installed brscan2 and brscan-skey properly and set them up as per the Brother website. You then run brscan-skey as root, go to your printer, do a Scan to File and it will then scan and you will find the scanned image in your ~/brscan directory.

  • Plustek OpticSlim 2600 scanner not detected by scanimage

    Was anyone able to make this scanner work?
    I have installed sane-gt68xx-backend (which technically doesn't say it supports the 2600 model - only 2400) and I get the following output from sane-find scanner:
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x07b3, product=0x0467, chip=GT-6816?) at libusb:006:002
    Then, however, when I run scanimage -L there are no devices detected (tried both as user and as root).
    If any one of you managed to make this thing running in Arch, then please, share your expertise. :-)

    I ran into something like this getting my neighbor's scanner working on his Linux box. But that was a couple of years ago... and my memory sucks... so don't rely on any of the following...
    Since the sane-gt68xx-backend package hasn't been updated since 2007, his scanner also wouldn't work right away.
    In my case I had to use the Vendor-ID and Product-ID to get the real manufacturer and model of the scanner. Even though the scanner had it's own name/model, I found out the "guts" of the scanner was actually made by Plustek (I think). But that's not the problem in your case.
    But... I did need to add the Vendor ID (yours is 0x07b3) and Product ID (yours is 0x0467) to one of the Sane configuration files (was it /etc/sand.d/gt68xx.conf ???).
    Then, one of the logs (syslog???) started complaining about not being able to find the scanner firmware. This is where it got fun
    In an attempt to refresh my very poor memory, I just tried the following steps using your scanner info...
    I went to http://plustek.com/ and downloaded the Windows device driver for the Plustek OpticSlim 2600, and then unzipped it in an empty "junk" directory.
    Then I installed the "unshield" package on my Arch Linux box. Next, I used unshield's "-d" parameters and "x" command to extract all the files inside the data1.cab file to another empty directory. I think you'll find scanner's firmware file at /DRV_71QU/cis3R5B1.fw in that directory you extracted the files to.
    In my case I then had to copy that firmware file to the /usr/share/sane/gt68xx directory.
    Then the scanner actually worked rather well.
    Good luck!

  • C4380 Scanner is not detected on Mac Snow Leopard (10.6.8), by USB or wifi

    Hello,
    Working with a MAC with Snow Leopard (10.6).
    Suddenly longer able to access the printer via WIFI. Reinstall the software and configure the network went back to the printer.
    Now the printer is working correctly by USB and WIFI, but the scanner is not detected.
    Can you help, please?
    Thank you very much.

    When you re-downloaded the drivers and software, did you get the FULL FEATURE drivers?
    Did you download this from the website or from the CD?
    You can run the print and scan doctor, and check the results.

    Unable to see scanner using PhotoShop CS for Import

    Epson Perfection 48970 Scanner worked perfectly with iMac using MAC OS 10.6.8 and Photoshop CS. But that iMac was traded in for a new iMac, and now using MAC OS 10.8.5. PS CS is now inoperative for the upgraded operating system. Now working with Macbook Pro, MAC OS 10.6.8, and scanner works perfectly with the laptop, but NOT with Photoshop CS. The Epson doesn't show in the import mode, but the HP Officejet Pro 8500 does, which is a poor scanner at best. I have looked for the answer to this problem, but unable to solve the problem. I don't want to buy an upgrade version of Photoshop CS; I just want to covert some 35mm slides to paper photos, etc.

  • Scanner not detected in PSE 12 organizer

    I used PSE11 before and i use a scanner (canon 4200F) to import some old pictures and other documents. Now i have installed PSE12, but i was surprised that my scanner is not detected, so i cannot import anymore with my scanner. How can i fix this problem?

    Microsoft Office does not support import by scanner or TWAIN  devices
    Wow, that really surprised me when you said that, because it always used to. So I had a look at my Word 2010 (where I have the free 'Classic Menu' add-in installed). Under Classic Menu it is still there under Menus> Insert> Illustrations> From Scanner or Camera. But nowhere could I see it under the standard Word Menu's or Ribbon bar.
    It is still in there though. I found it in the ribbon customization options choosing commands from 'All Tabs'. Accessible then from Menus> Toolbars> Insert> From Scanner or Camera. Phew!!!
    Anyway, glad to hear XNView worked for you, but still surprised that PSE12 doesn't see the scanner as either WIA or TWAIN (as you said you had followed the linked instructions in 99jon reply #1). I can only assume that Adobe changed the way they identify scanners for v12.

  • Epson scanner perfection 1670 is not detected on system preference pane

    It use to work but now it only produces blank grey scans.
    I have deinstalled and reinstalled new driver from Epson support site.
    I have also tried cleaning the USB connection with no results.
    I have noticed that when I tried connecting to the internet from the the scanner Help menu it tells me I am not connected (while I am) and I noticed also that the scanner is not detected on system preference pane.

    You can open System Profiler and under the Hardware heading you will see the USB entry. The printer should be listed under one of the USB busses. If you don't see it then the USB cable could be faulty or the printer itself could be cactus. So try another USB cable and in another port on the Mac. If the new cable and socket fails to make the printer appear in the USB view then the printer is the problem.
    If the printer is visible under one of the USB busses then this would indicate that the printer and the USB cable is okay. In this case the printer should be capable of being added in Print & Fax. But if you select to add the printer and it does not appear in the Default view of the Add Printer pane then try a reset of the printing system, as described next.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac

    Hi LillyTeddy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some scanning issues.
    I suggest that we start off by simply running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.

  • HT3669 iEPP, Easy Photo Print, App not 'detecting' my Canon MX870 printer/scanner.

    Downloaded the iPod Touch iEPP Airprint app for printing wirelessly to my approved, Canon MX870 printer/scanner and the app can't detect it.
    Thanks

    I have been having the same issue with the Canon iEPP app not detecting the printer using an iPhone 4S, 5S and iPad Air.  I was on the phone with Canon IT support and the devices and apps can communicate with the printer when I type in the printer IP address in the Safari browser.
    I have Comcast Xfinity for interner and have a Linksys Wireless-G router.
    I tried about 5 different free app which support my Canon MX870 printer and none can detect the printer.
    Any suggestions?

  • I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detect

    I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detected.

    Looks like all Epson scanners will fail under Mvrx. And who knows when an updated driver will be available. It's not as if they have had a while to do it already.
    After I noticed mine wouldn't work, I deleted my Workforce 610 and re-added it by pressing the + and instead of going for the IP versions that may pop up, that they say to do under normal conditions, select the Bonjour version. When you select the new printer/scanner in the Printers & Scanners Control Panel, then open the control window and then look in the dock and see if your printer is there. Right click on it and go to "Keep in Dock" for easy Access. In the printer panel there should be a little picture of a scanner on the right side. Click on it or type Commmand-3 and the built-in scanner software/utility will come up. After playing with it I think it's better than and there are some cool features that are not in the stock Epson software.
    Hope this helps.

  • It has been not more than 10 days since i bought iphone 5s 32gb and the finger print scanner is not detecting the prints.what to do??is it an issue with the device or iOS??

    It has been not more than 10 days since i bought iphone 5s 32gb and the finger print scanner is not detecting the prints.what to do??is it an issue with the device or iOS??

    Standard practices:
    Restart the device (power off completely, then back on) - retest.
    Reset (hold sleep wake and home buttons until apple logo appears) - you can try this, but it is most useful when your device is frozen.
    Restore to factory settings - retest.
    Make an appointment at an Apple retail store genius bar if the above did not resolve the issue.

  • Canon MP560 Printer is not detected by System Preferences

    Hi everyone,
    I am using a 2010 Macbook Pro with OS X Version 10.7.5, I have had this Canon MP560 Printer for about 2 years now and it has been working perfectly until lately when it starts to keep on returning "a communication error has occured" whenever I tried to print something.
    I have read through the forum and noticed that people have experienced the same thing as me.
    So for me, I have tried the following solutions:
    1. Checking if the LAN connection is working and printing the LAN test page from printer. It does print ad says that wireless LAN is enabled an active.
    2. I deleted the printer and scanner from System Preferences and try to re-add it
    3. Update my software
    When I tried to re-add it, there is no printer detected. I tried doing the step-by-step that PAHU recommended that worked for some one but unfortunately it does not work for me. My printer still does not appear when I tried to look up a printer.
    (Here is the step by step that I followed:
    The printer component of the MP560 can take longer to appear than the scanner component. The scanner uses Bonjour to advertise itself on the wireless network, while the printer component uses a proprietary protocol called "canonijnetwork". If you select to add a printer and have the Default Add Printer view open, you will see the MP560 as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. But if you wait at least 15 seconds more, the printer should appear showing "canonijnetwork" in the Kind column.
    If this printer component does not appear after 30 seconds maximum then it would suggest a problem with the printer driver installation. So open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter and trash the contents of this folder. Then download the latest MP560 driver via this link and run the installer. With the installation completed, try to add the printer again.)
    Since I have tried these suggestions but still is not successful I wonder what's wrong with my Printer/Macbook and if there's any other way to add printer (using IP address for example ). If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Yes I can Ping the IP address from Network Utility.
    Before, my Macbook couldn't even recognize the scanner, but now I can add the Scanner from System Preferences.
    However, my printer is stll not detected. I am missing some sort of an application or something?

  • Presario CQ 71 - Built in Webcam not detected under Windows 7 Profession​al - No HP-101 device

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ 71 EB400. On this notebook I run both Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits and  Windows  7 Professional 64-bits to compare behaviour of apps and windows features in both  environments.
    Windows 7 Home on  my  HD C partition
    Windows 7 Professional  on my HD F partition.
    The CQ 71 has a built in Webcam, that shows up under Windows 7 Home premium Device Manager - Imaging Devices  (Cameras and Scanners)  as HP-101, linked to the required drivers.
    Under Windows 7 Home premium:
    - The built-in CQ 71 Webcam is detected and operational - the HP-101 entry is present in Device Manager. 
    - Applications using a Webcam like Skype, Mycam, Manycom etc connect with the Webcam
    - When I  plug in an external Webcam,  thet webcam is detected as well, drivers loaded etc.
    Under Windows 7 Professional:
    - The built in Webcam is not detected, in the Device Manager -Imaging Devices, the HP-101 Webcam entry is absent
    - Skype, Mycam, Manycam cannot find a  Webcam (also not when an external USB Webcam is plugged in)
    - A plugged in external Web cam is not detected as an imaging device.
    I use a Brother printer/scanner/fax machine,  the Brother scanner device is visible as Imaging device in Device manager in both Windows 7 Home premium and Windows 7 Professional.
    Other USB devices, portable disks, card readers etc seem to work OK in both Windows 7 environments.
    The HP support pages provide information what to do when a internal Webcam is not detected; The recommended actions make no difference.  Going back to a  previous W7 Prof restore point is no option,  as on the CQ 71 notebook the built-in Webcam  never functioned under W7 Professional.
    The major difference is that all Windows 7 Home Premium relatede system software resides on the C partition, all Windows 7 Professional system software on the F partition.
    I'm looking for a way to kickstart the built in CQ 71 Webcam under Windows 7 Professional installed  on a non-standard partition.
    Your suggestions will be very welcome.
    Jan Dijckmeester.

    Hi again jdij,
    It is good to hear back from you!
    To enable your system to detect the Webcam in Windows 7, I recommend re-installing the original drivers and software that first came with your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7). To update the newly installed software, please follow this resource on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).
    If the webcam is still not detected, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
    Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
    If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • HP installer will not detect networked LaserJet MFP M1536dnf just on some PCs

    Hello,
    this printer/scanner was working fine (printer still works fine via a Windows print server). Then scanning (via network) stopped working on one PC (Windows 7).
    Tried to uninstall drivers / HP software and reboot. Then tried to install again - HP Installer will not detect printer on the network no matter what. I can ping the IP of this printer, access its web interface without any issues on the same PC. Tried specifying IP address in the installer - does not detect, the same issue with MAC address. 
    Had a Windows 8 machine with drivers / software installed on it, tested - scanning still worked fine on that PC. Tried to remove HP software to see if problem will appear. And it did! I cannot install the same software package which I still had in downloads - it will NOT detect the printer on network.
    Upgraded printer firmware - no change, even though I don't expect this to be a printer issue as it worked fine until I have uninstalled software on this W8 machine.
    Tried using HP Scan & Print doctor. That thing doesn't see printer/scanner installed and only suggest to download and install software which is not helpfull at all.
    I also tried extracting HP installation files and finding *.inf files which could be used to add scanner via Windows directly, but haven't succeded with that (I would also be not sure how to specify network IP address in such a case anyway).
    Any help is MUCH appreciated. We are kind of stuck...
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Run some diagnostics and see if any issues are discovered.
    There have been reported issues with the NVIDIA 650 with some of the HP PCs. Additionally, most models of the NVIDIA 650 require a 400 watt power supply as the minimum and some models require a PCI six (6) pin power connector which the 300 watt power supply in your PC is not provisioned.
    There is a BIOS update posted for your PC so you might want to consider installing that update.

  • Mac Pro OSX 10.8.3 HP 4000 series scanners are not detecting.

    Well..I think, I did everything. I have followed all instructions recommended by HP. I have updated and installed latest drivers. I have even searched the warez sites to find a trick. Useless, useless and useless.
    Hardware is retina display with 256 GB SSD, 1600 mGz  8 GB ram and I7 processor. OSX version is 10.8.3
    HP 4000 series scanners are not detecting by this machine. Vuescan is detecting but the scanning quality is also terrible.
    Strange. I have nothing to say.

    For the Scanjet 4850, follow the link below and click on the instructions tab.  It looks like you have to get the software and drivers for 10.6 and run a patch to make them work with 10.8.  That should get the scanner installed and working. 
    Scanjet Software Patch to Use OS X 10.6 Software and Driver on OS X 10.7 and 10.8
    For the Scanjet G4050, all you should need to do is install the driver from the link below to be able to use the scanner with image capture and other similar products.

  • Mac OS X 10.9.3 does not detect the presence of Canon MX395 printer. Help?

    Hi,
    My printer/scanner was working fine before I upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks. I now run OS X 10.9.3, the printer is Canon MX395.
    Basically mr problem is that the printer is simply not detected. I turn it on and plug in the USB cable but nothing happens. I cannot view the printer in the list of printers in System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, nor can view it if I click Add. I have already spent 2 sessions of 3-4 hours following all steps provided in Apple Support pages about setting up printers and troubleshooting with printers (including reset printing system and deleting all canon related files/applications and installing everything again, meaning both drivers from canon and canon drivers from Apple) and I am sure that the printer is working and well connected.
    Need help please!
    Thanks,
    Antoine

    Hi all,
    Update on my situation, my problem is solved.
    I disinstalled and reinstalled many times everything to come to the conclusion that, in my case, installing the driver from Canon PROHIBITS the printer/scanner from working. Indeed, everything is now running fine with Apple driver for Canon printers (Apple Canon Printer Driver 3.0 for mac OS). BUT, if Canon driver is at the same time installed, computer is not being recognized. Having solely Canon driver without Apple driver also results in the printer not being recognized.
    This may sound weird (at least to me) but that is how it seems to be. Hope this can help anyone.
    Final solution:
    1) disinstall everything printer related (printers, drivers, reset printing system)
         > In my case, I did not reinstall Mavericks nor reset the whole OS
    2) install the Apple driver (and ignore the one from Canon)
    3) connect the printer, turn it on, should be working
    Regards,
    Antoine
