Try this. Run lsusb and look for your scanner. Take note of the two numbers following ID:
ID 152d:2329
Then edit /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules:
gksudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules
And add a line like (just substitute the numbers from earlier):
ATTRS{idVendor}=="152d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2329", MODE="0664", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
Save the file and reboot.

I have added the following code to /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules, restarted udev, rebooted the printer, and it is now working as expected. Thank you very much. You guys are awesome.

psycho430404, Yes, I am lucky to have been able to run it, but xsane gets really mad and yells at you when you run it as root. It's even a bit rude about it, lol. My printer is a Brother DCP-7040. I had the latest drivers directly from the website, but it seems I missed a step when installing them.

Hello everyone, I am having some issues with my printer/scanner.

When running xsane to scan a document, xsane complains that it can detect no devices and then promptly exits. However, if I run xsane as root "sudo xsane" it is detected and everything works perfectly. Printing documents to the DCP-7040 works without any issues.

I'm assuming I'm having a permissions issue, but am not sure where to look.

If you consider this bloated...then what is not bloated? Color me curious, because I found all the tools to have a use in my life, except for maybe VLC.

I was kidding a bit about it being bloated when compared to what I was using, but it does have quite a few things I wouldn't use such as Xchat, or a microblogging client. Calling it bloated was just me being silly, but the closer to 'linux from scratch' I get the happier I am. I'd just blame my OCD. I think #! looks great so far, and it only took two days to convince me to use it for my desktop.

If "Save" is grayed out it means you have not modified the image so theres nothing to save. You can right-click the image and select Properties to see the image path (if you want to copy/move the file elsewhere).

It defaults to the images folder, and thanks for the quick reponse everyone smile

It is already saved

Well, now don't feel stupid. It is indeed in the images folder.

When I hit the print screen button Viewnior pops up showing the screenshot, but I am unable to save it. The save option is greyed out and not available. Any ideas?

Hello, I don't mean to hijack a thread or anything, but didn't want to start another. I've been using #! for two days now. I decided it was too bloated so then I wiped it and installed Debian minimal. Then I found myself trying to recreate #! and it was too much work so I'm back already

Okay, its not really too bloated, it has just made me appreciate how bloated all the other distributions are, even though they are also great. I expected my system to run a lot faster, but never thought much about how much faster a system updates itself when its not updating a lot of packages I have no use for. I also get to learn about other packages I was never aware of, such as claws mail which seems to be so much faster than what I was using.

I also have my multifunction printer up and running, which wasn't so difficult, and its probably the most complicated piece of hardware on my system. When I had it running in Ubuntu it has some strange quirks, but all that is gone now.

And the people on the forums are all eerily nice! big_smile

Dual boot #! and Windows or #! and more Linux?

I have Ubuntu on one drive and #1 on the other. I have my windows in a Virtual Machine so it doesn't give the rest of my computer cooties.

Hello again everyone. I have installed Cruchbang and am dual booting. I wish that I could say it went smoothly, but after installation I was greeted with a black screen and an unresponsive system. That wasn't very nice!!! I eventually got my system to boot up by manually adding the line nouveau.blacklist=1 in grub when it is booting. I don't know what nouveau is, but I hate it.

On the bright side, these set backs are always a good opportunity to start learning how everything works.

I'm officially using Crunch-bang now! Looks like my first step will be to install some proper Nvidia drivers so I can boot into my system.

Thanks for the welcome everyone

Hello everyone, I made the full switch to linux several years ago using Ubuntu in a work environment, and some Debian servers, and haven't regretted it one bit. I run a virtual machine for my few windows needs. I love how easy it is to update the entire system in one fell swoop, and how I don't get constant nagging update messages. I almost forget what I appreciate it until I have to load up a Windows machine and fight with it because its constantly stealing focus.

Ubuntu has been great to me and has taught me many things, but as time goes on little things keep changing that drive me a bit bonkers and I was thinking of taking a look at other distributions. I was thinking of Fedora when somebody mentioned Crunchbang to me, so here I am.

I love Ubuntu, but I hate bloat and love minimalist things. Do you think I'll like it? Is it a difficult transition?

Just thought I'd say hello. I'm downloading a copy to see for myself but its slow =/
