You need to edit the file as root, which is typically done by using 'gksu gedit' and then the file to edit. Better than editing the default rules - which Ubuntu doesn't like - would be to override the rule with one of your own. May I suggest something like this?

gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/55-udev-user.rules

Add the lines specified by Brother:

# libusb device nodes
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ... , MODE="0666"

Save the file, exit gedit and reboot the computer.

I looked at these pages:

Scanner driver downloads:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/e...nload_scn.html

Scanner driver instructions:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/e..._scn1c.html#u9

I hope this helps.

Lex
