Brother MFC-295CN Printer Scanner Fax with Fedora 12, Add the following 2 lines at the last of the device entry.

For Brother MFC-295CN Printer Scanner Fax Machine. After installing all of the Brother Drivers and Apps, my scanner still didn't work. I found this on the Brother Support Site along with the drivers and apps (that is where I downloaded them all and installed them from the RPM's). Later I saw them listed in  in Add/Remove Programs too. But I didn't see them in the list until after I did the manual downloads and installs. There are other Distros shown there too. It worked for me. The info is at...
