Hello,

i have a scanner, connected via USB:

Code: Select all

scanimage -L
device `brother4:bus5;dev2' is a Brother DCP-7057 USB scanner
problem is that any other tools tries to use name without brackets... so it all brake.

is it possible to rename "brother4:bus5;dev2" to somethink like this: dcp7057?
if so, how?

i know, my problem is specific... but i'd like to know a generic solution for same situations.
