This one works with the Brother scanner driver "brscan3", judging from its Gentoo package. The DCP-195C isn't specifically listed on Brother's page that I can find, but this machine uses the same scanner driver: http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=dcp165c_all&os=128 You should be able to download .debs from those pages. It might also be worth trying setting up the DCP 1512's printer half as a generic Postcript printer, as Brother's drivers don't always work well with current versions of CUPS. The scanner drivers were OK for me, though. E.
