23 I have a Brother DCP-9010CN (also an USB PSC) connected to my server and can
24 typically print and scan over network (using cupsd and saned). So I guess
25 you should be able to do the same.
26
27 Typically you have to install a driver directly from Brother:

30 You can install this RPM on Gentoo with rmp2targz. I have to use for my PSC
31 the driver generation 3 and had to install it afterwards with
32 "/usr/local/Brother/sane/setupSaneScan3" for configuration and
33 "/usr/bin/brsaneconfig3 -i" adds the driver to the SANE configuration.
34 Something similar should exist for your driver.

36 Hope this helps,
