Change some values in a config file
Quote:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules
Edit "0664" to "0666" in "USB devices" section.

Before the edit---------------------------------

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664"

After the edit----------------------------------

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0666"

For 10.10 a couple of things have changed.

Open a terminal and
sudo apt-get install sane-utils

Then from the Brother Website (http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1a.html)

Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04
1. Open "/lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules" file.
2.Add the following two lines to the end of the device list. (Before the line "# The following rule will disable ..."):


The lines to be added---------------------------


# Brother scanners
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"


3. Restart the OS.

This also works in 10.10 Maverick.

Reboot and you should now be able to scan.

To check the drivers are installed try
dpkg -l | grep Brother

Good Luck

It is a system file so you need to use admin privilege
gksudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules and then paste the two lines (Before the line "# The following rule will disable ...")

Then reboot.
