Actually Brother has now posted specific instructions for Ubuntu 8.04 on their website (http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/linux_faq.html#9):

1. Open "/etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules" file.
2. Edit "0664" to "0666" in "USB devices" section.

Before the edit --------------------------
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664"

After the edit --------------------------
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0666"

3. Restart the system.

I can't test it, but I'm assuming they have.
