Help with scanner
Hi i would like to use bazzite with my printer. My printer is a combination of printer and scanner. Printer part just works. But scanner part needs driver (brscan4). I installed it thru rpm-ostree. After reboot. programs like skanlite and skanpage dont detect my printer/scanner. Its only detect my webcam... scanimage -L reports printer and webcam
ls /etc/udev/rules.d/ | grep -i brother reports driver is installed and working
Any ideas?

i found solution its not most elegant one but its doing its job. distrobox with fedora 41. inside i installed those scanner apps as system packuages and that packet for scanner. then i "created a shortcut" from bazzite to those apps. and its works now (skanlite at least scanpage crashes)

Driver is only avaliable thru .rpm and .deb
its the only thing thats holding me from switching from nobara tbh. i rearly use the scanner but if i need it i rly need it and cant get without it
Are skanlite and skanpage installed as flatpaks? Because if yes you might need to tweak some of the settings inside flatseal
yes they are from flatpak i tried giving them even all permision or to run as sudo to give them "everything" no resoults
bump. its till not fixed
