Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy (clean install, back then)
Brother DCP-330c
MSI S271 notebook
starting situation: no print, no scan
ending situation: can print, some issue with margins. Scan not yet fully tested, as a user I got permission errors before editing the udev rules, guess that is also sorted out now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks all for either writing a nice howto or supplying with similar errors as I got with some hints.
After reading through the first 5 pages (and some other threads), I convinced my system that in the END the printer really should start doing what it was bought for, and while typing this post, my dcp-330c is printing the code I will paste below for future reference
I followed a bit of a different path, as under Feisty I could get away with (mostly) installing the .debs as root with csh as shell. No luck this time though, but in the end it worked out.

Now I can print,but all of the page is moved vertically. I read that some more users got that symptom, but I could not figure out yet how it is solved.
Thanks again, good luck to all of you
