Thank you hhlp. I already install the Network printer in Ubuntu 11.10 I follow the Instruction in Brothersoft. I also installed the Scanner driver but I can't run the scanner driver automatically. When the time I use printer I use the command in Terminal "sudo brscan-skey" to scan. I already setup the auto start application using that command but when the pc restart it has no effect I manually use that command in Terminal in order to work the scanner in brothersoft.– jimDec 16, 2011 at 3:35
