   This isn't about Brother or RPi, but my Canon & LM w/ simple-scan which   
   LM calls Document scanner.   
      
   I scanned a color graphical document w/ Ds ie simple-scan; I was able to   
   crop the scan field prior to scanning and choose gray scale or color (I   
   typically use grayscale because my printer is only black ink) and save   
   the scan as a .pdf.   
      
   If I were going to scan my driver license to send it, I would scan in   
   color.   
      
   Personally, I'm in a linux 99% of the time, I don't do very much   
   printing or scanning; but when I do, I do it in Win7 because I prefer   
   the Win tools and results, IrfanView for graphical handling and superior   
   printer management for my limited purposes.   
      
   My point is that if I were trying to do it w/ RPi & Brother, I would be   
   using a combination of Brother tools and simple-scan.
