Problems with Brother DCP-130C multifunctions printerHello guys ;-) I have a new problem installing a Brother DCP-130C multifunctions printer. The printer works fine, but impossible to configure the scanner with Xsane. Wheb i run Xsane, i got a message "Error opening 'brother:bus1;dev4': I/O error on this material" An idea? Thanks in advance ;-)

It's running by using su
It's running by using su mode...
But i've a message: You try to use Xsane as root user, You continue at your own risks???
A solution?
Thanks

You have to add your user to the group that handles scanning.
I cannot tell you which one, because My system is a bit mixed at the moment from testing stuff...
Just check the groups your user is assigned to using the "Desktop" => "Administration" => "Users and Groups"
Hope it helps,
Check groups
I suggest you do the following, which worked in my case:
Check the groups you (as a user) are member of: $groups
You have to be member of "scanner" group. If not, as superuser: #useradd -g your_user_name scanner
As I've said, this worked for me, but I don't know what would have been the solution otherwise. Anyway, google, and ubuntu forums are very helpful for these kind of issues.
Cheers

--has a great list that I always check for printing on Linux. Looking around there, I don't see a DCP-130C listed, but here is information on a DCP-135C.

There is some discussion on the DCP-130C in their forums:

Thank you all, il will test
Thank you all, il will test all your suggestions..
Really thanks a lot ;-)
@Harley: Thanks for your
@Harley: Thanks for your idea, but it doesn't run!
@Pablo: Thanks for your idea. At the beginning of running xsane it seems to run properly, but when going out, i have 3 messages: "error creating file, no permissions". I tried to run Xsane from a console (not SU), it's the same and it doesn't tells me the files or directories where i have no permissions...
I know Google and Ubuntu forums, but as my english is poor, it's more difficult for me to understant answers, and on french forums i didn't find any answer (at this time). But i continue, whent i want something, i find it ;-)
@picothinker: The two links you give to me are speaking of configuring printer, but not scanner... Thanks a lot ;-)
I continue seraching... Thanks one more time (and it makes me work my english :-)))))))))))))))) )
Ok Try This...
Do exactly what Pablo has suggested, but add the command "sudo" in front of the "useradd -g your_user_name scanner"
Thus: sudo useradd -g your_user_name scanner
Remember that ypu always need administrative rights when you change major things, and "sudo" does that for you.
Alternatively, make sure you run Pablo's command in a root terminal (or su as you say)
Let's see...
Thanks a lot for your
Thanks a lot for your answer, but i found a simple solution:
When using Xsane as SU the first time have been created some directories .sane/subdirectories...
First time i tried to chmod 777 this directories and content, but it didn't run...
The only thing to do was to remove the directory .sane and all his content, re-use Xsane in no SU mode, and it's running properly...
Sincerely real thanks for your help...
And i think you'll see me again on this super forum ;-)

It seems it's not possible for the first post!
But not really important... There's a link "edit" on replies, but not for the first ;-)
