   At least on my Mint installation I have it figured it out.   
      
   The automatic setup did not work so I manually entered the device URI   
      
      
   I'll be darned, it worked.   
      
      
   In a way, I'm glad I fooled with it.   
      
   Even though using the shell script from Brother did not solve the   
   problem, I did at least refresh my brain.   
      
   I have not run a shell script in 20 years I bet   
      
   Thanks to all here.
