slackware

About a year ago I moved full time to using a Linux based desktop (Slackware 12.2). For the most part this has been relatively painless and has made my work a lot easier. But every once in awhile I run into some difficulties and today I felt compelled to solve a long standing problem; namely that my scanner didn't work. Well, my printer worked. But my scanner did not. This was irritating since they happen to be one and the same.

After doing some searches for "Brother MFC-7820N" on google and I did, eventually, figure out how to get everything up and running.
