Brother multifunction 210c scanner does not function

[wordsmyth]

I have a Brother multifunction 210c. With Ubuntu 8.1 the printer works o.k., only I can't access the DRAFT and other functions I used with Windows, just standard printing. And the scanner will not work - isn't recognised. I get an error message thus: NO DEVICE FOUND. Most frustrating. Can anyone help me with this,, and save me from migrating back to Windows????

LATER: Thanks for the advice, people. But alas, this further explains why newbies throw up their hands and return to Windows, where plugandplay works. And rather than burden my brain hacking out code as suggested, I'm doing likewise. Thanks all the same ...
