Hello all, I have set a box for a friend running Kubuntu 16.04 with a brother MF7680DW multifunction printer/scanner attached via usb.
Are you sure that model number is correct ; google can't seem to find it !
I suspect: Brother MFC-7860DW Compact Monochrome Laser All-in-One Printer (Note digit transposition.) There's some sort of dismal proprietary binary-only SANE driver from the manufacturer. (Personally, I regard that as the manufacturer telling you 'Hullo, you bought unwisely, and should sell this hardware to someone and buy a replacement supported by open source, but perhaps that's just me.)
