I have installed the proprietary drivers. Have installed XSane backend and
frontend.
Can't decipher how to setup their web based setup tool.

Haven't tried printing (cause I don't want to) but I need the scanning.
Brother tech support is somewhat like molasses going uphill in a liquid
nitrogen tank.

Haven't been able to find anything for info on the bscan4 because its newer
but doesn't just work either.
Trying to find ways to use XSane but can't find a reasonable description of
that either!
Makes me think that scanning is a seldom used activity!
