First off, I don't do computer stuff, so I know less than nothing.
I have my laptop dual boot with 7pro and linux mint cinnamon. I'm trying to get a brother ads 1500w scanner to run in mint. Wine doesn't work. Brother's download offers old drivers for linux (2014) and I cant install it. Per the instructions, I try creating the symbolic link and get the file not found response.
I'm told that the old drivers probably wont be stable if I do install them.
I'm not finding much for travel scanners that work with linux, but would buy a new one if it worked for me. My goal is to leave ms behind and go to linux. My only real use for this laptop is scanning Bill's of lading into pdf and emailing them.
Any ideas?
