To the Developer Team of Ubuntu 11.10
As we know that ubuntu new version is about to be relesed
Will it not be a good idea that the driver of the Brother Printer along with the scanner is auto detected by the System.
I may add that Brother Printers are very use full at least in India I can Say for us newbie it is very difficult task to work on linux as without printer our work is totally stuck

I hope the Ubuntu Team understand......!

You don't need to run those commands as root, users can run them just fine, zero difference to output.

I have tried the said website http://malaysian-ubuntu.blogspot.com/2011/02/brother-dcp-j125-printer-on-ubuntu.html

but to no avail i followed these instruction on ubuntu 11.04 and it worked there but not here

i have added the permission for normal user in libsane rules also
