[sane-devel] brother MFC 9160: laserprinter+copier works fine - and scanner?

[Ekkard Gerlach]

brother MFC 9160  is a all in one box, digital copier, 
emulating LaserJet 6P (PCL 5e), 
printing via parallel port and USB works fine.

Scanner interface is TWAIN compatible. What can I do 
test the machine?

The machine cost about 400 Euro only!!! What a surprise
for linux users! And if scanning would be possible, this
machine will be a best seller!
