Scanner issue

[John Pearson]

First thank you for the reply. I did the command as you stated and
replaced the sgO with sg1 as Xsane stated

(I assume that when xsane says brother:bus4;devl, that would be sg1). I
get the following error:

device not found in database

udevinfo: option requires an argument -- p

I am new to Fedora and any help is greatly appreciated. John
