<p>Dear Olaf I discovered this after my post by myself ...</p>
<p>Nevertheless many thanks for your kind advice. And yes you are
right: no reboot needed.<br>
</p>
<p>In the meanwhile we got the following backends working by doing
these steps:</p>
<p>1.Brother:</p>
<p>brscan, brscan2, brscan3</p>
<p>a) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/libbr* /usr/lib/<wbr>x86_64-<wbr>linux-gnu'<br>
b) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/<wbr>sane/libsane-<wbr>brother*
/usr/lib/<wbr>x86_64-<wbr>linux-gnu/<wbr>sane'<br>
c) generate '/etc/udev/<wbr>rules.d/<wbr>59-udev-<wbr>local.rules'<br>
content:<br>
# Brother brscan devices<br>
ATTRS{idVendor}<wbr>=="04f9"<wbr>, ATTRS{idProduct<wbr>}=="*",
MODE="0664", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_<wbr>matched}<wbr>="yes"</p>
<p>2. Epson Iscan</p>
<p>a) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib/<wbr>sane/libsane-<wbr>epkowa*
/usr/lib/<wbr>x86_64-<wbr>linux-gnu/<wbr>sane'<br>
b) generate '/etc/udev/<wbr>rules.d/<wbr>79-udev-<wbr>epson.rules'<br>
content:<br>
# chmod device EPSON group<br>
ATTRS{manufactu<wbr>rer}=="<wbr>EPSON", DRIVERS=="usb",
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}<wbr>=="04b8"<wbr>,
ATTRS{idProduct<wbr>}=="*", MODE="0777"</p>
<p>3. Xerox Workcentre 3225</p>
<p>a) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib/<wbr>sane/libsane-<wbr>smfp* /usr/lib/<wbr>x86_64-<wbr>linux-gnu/<wbr>sane'<br>
b) 'sudo adduser $USER lp'</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Only brscan4 refuses to work for what reason ever (it works only
as root and only with xsane, no scanimage, no scantopdf ...)
currently we try discover if any 'special' udev rules are missing
and generating them might work.</p>
<p>Any help/advice appreciated. <br>
</p>
<p>The owner of the brscan4 Scanner asked Brother. They replied:
"read the faq, or check over internet if there are solutions from
the community".</p>
<p>current state can be observed here

</p>
<p>Some people call using 'MODE="0777" for epson dangerous. The rule
was installed by the epson-printer-utility. With the rule Iscan
works, without not.</p>

<p>Thanks for your kind interest</p>
