RE: scanner for mfc-240c brother


I know I am connected in USB port but how I know if is in 32 or 64 bits, I am using a Toshiba Satellite M35S-S111, that's the only information I have, the other way is test one and then the other, but I don't know if this could be a problem.
I feel I am in the last yard

Thanks

I have a printer MFC-240C, now I need use the scanner I came to the

key tool and how I is the installation protocol

Brother is high on my list for their efforts with linux drivers (Lexmark
also). Brother has a
linux group in their Japan office.

Anyways, to answer your question, brscan is the scanner driver, the
scan-key tool is for scanning to
your pc from the scanner control panel. Forget about that, and just install
the correct scanner driver,
which is brscan2 for the MFC-240C as per this URL:

http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/download_scn.html

All the information is there, but you do have to know if you are running 32
or 64bit, and how your MFC-240C
is connected, USB or network.

There is also Brother print driver packaging in the Ubuntu multiverse
repositories. The MFC-240C is supported
for Printing drivers. Here is the URL for that Wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BrotherDriverPackaging

This should do it for your Printer driver:

sudo apt-get install brother-cups-wrapper-bh7


Cheers!

One added suggestion: when I installed on my son's system last December
(Feisty) I had to pay particular attention to the FAQ info in order to
get the scanner working properly. He had moved from Florida &
experienced a lightning strike which blew out the USB; so I connected
via the ethernet port & once I did that it & set everything up per
Brother's FAQ's it worked like a champ:

http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/faq_scn.html
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/faq_prn.html
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/faq_pcf.html

It's the only Brother MFC that I've installed, and I must say that I am
_very_ impressed with Brother's support via their website and
responsiveness to issues. Next time I'm in the market for a
printer/scanner/multifuntion unit Brother will be at the top of my list.
