Installing a new Brother printer+scanner

[Sascha]

Good morning you all.

About a week ago I installed my first Linux (Ubuntu 10.04). Since then I've been trying to get my printer to work by following some of the instructions on the web.
Unfortunately, as a newbie, I can't seem to get it right...

The printer is - Brother DCP-135C.

Pls help.

Thnx,
Sascha

have you tried going into the default printer app under preferences? this should allow you to select your printer. is it usb? you could go to a terminal and type sudo lsusb. post output of this.

Thnx hatebreed for your replay.

I don't seem to have the default printer upp under preferences.
But I did go into Administration-->Printing-->New printer and tried there with not much luck.

Here is the output of "sudo lsusb" in terminal:
