I have a ds640 (an usb scanner), and I’ve spent maybe 2 hours installing&reinstalling&removing drivers from the aur. Nothing worked. Installed Fedora just to see if things worked over there (as fedora is officially supported by brother) and things worked perfectly. Then i booted on my arch install arch once again, AND EVERYTHING WORKED. Alleluia. But I still don’t know why, as I didn’t touch nothing between last time i tried and now. Idk.
Over the network can be hit or miss but the usb cable and the drivers from the AUR have yet to fail me

Maybe just the reboot? Something was probably installed that was not started yet and it was started as part of the boot process?
I did reboot several times during my first try… Idk… Now it works, but its still a mistery why…
