[Watford] Just had a treat

[Peter Grant]

My Brother scanner/laser printer combo has linux drivers, but download
only from the Brother linux page. choice of .rpm or .deb or source for
the scanner driver, and a postscript file to get the printer working
perfectly. good instructions, only issue is when you upgrade ubuntu it
breaks the scanner package! Gets it stuck between installed and
removed and can't do either!
