   Years ago I downloaded the Brother's linux script which downloaded the   
   rpm's.  Installed them; and pulled my hair out finding that one of the   
   executables was a 32 bit elf.  Installed Alien's multilib packages   
   (don't remember which one contains the magic) and all has been good since.   
      
   I do recall the IP was a bit touchy - socket://192.etc works here.   
      
   I read recently the .deb had 64 bit arch covered.  Dunno for sure.   
      
   Here's my files:   
      
   ls -A Printer/   
   brscan-skey-0.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm     mfcj4510dwcupswrapper-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm   
   brscan-skey-0.3.1-2.x86_64.rpm     mfcj4510dwlpr-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm   
   brscan4-0.4.11-1.x86_64.rpm        uninstaller_MFCJ4510DW   
   brscan4-0.4.8-1.x86_64.rpm         uninstaller_brscan-skey   
   linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1  uninstaller_brscan4
