Hugh:

My DCP-7065DN showed up today and it prints from the wife's Windoze
box and from my Centos-6 box! Whoohoo!!!!

So, now I'm wondering if you have tried to get the scanner working, too.
I've installed the scanner driver and the brscan utility, but they 
don't seem to be finding the scanner (I've got it on hard-wired network
with static IP), so I need to do some digging, but thought I should
ask you first.

Any clues will be appreciated! :)
