The scanner on the 2250 works fine using simplescan or xsane but they are limited. I haven't found any good scanner software under linux yet.

My Brother HL-2250DN doesn't have a scanner function, it's just a mono-laser. My scanner is an HP (Scanjet 200), and last I checked will only work with Windows (think it has soft firmware built into the Windows driver, so doesn't support the usual scanner protocols).
