Brother BRSCAN2 and ilk with debian (umbuntu)

[Yeti]

Thank you in advance for reading/ assisting here.....

We have here a winner in the "I am recognized but won't stand and salute catagory"!

Have a brother mfc5840cn , fully detected all brscan2 and brscanskey drivers installed as per brother's site....

No joy coming, no test pages, just the printer doin the old lump of coal bit.

Well, I'd like it to be a diamond someday, pref soon.
