I had the same problem with my Brother DCP-145C on Ubuntu 10.04 when I upgraded and I just found a SOLUTION.
The post referred to by robbychen (http://blog.robbychen.com/2010/03/25 /brother-scanner-driver-installation-in-ubuntu/) almost works, but the lines of coded needed to be added are slightly different, and I found the solution at http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1c.html#u9.10 SOLUTION for Ubuntu 10.04 (despite it referring to 9.10 with the same solution) is the following (taken from the page I just linked to): " 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.
