Thanks actionparsnip.

We plugged in the Brother MFC7340, downloaded the deb files from the
Brother website and followed their instructions.   When it came to
giving the command:

dpkg  -i  --force-all  --force-architecture
cupswrapperMFC7340-2.0.2-1.i386.deb

There initially appeared to be some conflict with drivers (or
files/folders associated with them) for another Brother printer that had
previously been installed on the machine.   The error message made some
reference to an issue with the "--force-all" option.   In the end we
went with:

dpkg  -i  cupswrapperMFC7340-2.0.2-1.i386.deb

And it did the trick.   Everything else went smoothly.   Printer/Scanner
working fine.   Good outcome.
