Be aware that the debbi method auto-installs a printer in CUPS, while the PET does not.
Also the installed files don't show up in PuppyPackageManager.
That's true because the debbi method doesn't use the PPM. However the PET below will.
The Bro printer drivers work fine but the scanner not so. XSANE cant find a scanner. I tried your brscan3 .pet but no go.
Just out of curiosity, what did you do wrong? the brscan3.pet is a one-click procedure.
BTW, Xsane scans a lot faster than Peasyscan.
I tested this with my Brother J415W and could not duplicate your situation. Scanning speed is determined by the backend and both programs are using the same brscan3.
However, I noticed something interesting about Xsane. When I first ran it, it claimed to be set on 200 DPI, but it actually scanned at only 100 DPI. So naturally, it was fast. But Peasyscan ran at its stated default 200 DPI. When I explicitly set both at the same resolution, their speeds were the same.
Note also that Xsane can auto-select the crop region, while Peasyscan cannot. So if you don't select the region in Peasyscan, it will scan the full page.
