The driver etc are installed by YaST when brscan and brscan-skey rpms 
are downloaded from brothers website and installed. Same for the Cups 
and lpr for the printer.  I manually enter the The ATTR info into 
/etc/udev/rules.d/55--libsane.rules
CODE
-----------
# Brother MFC-J6710DW
ATTR(idVendor)=="04f9", ATTR{idProduct)=="0263", MODE="0664", 
GROUP-"lp", ENV(libsane_matched)="yes"
----------
and in /etc/sane.d/ dll.conf
CODE
----------
#umax1220u
#v4l
#xerox_mfp

Also from YaST2

This install is very simular to the epkowa (Epson) devices. It was 
working with the 3.11.1-3(12.3) kernel and also with 3.11.1-3 (13.1). 
It broke after update to 13.1 release and kde 4.11.2. I know there was 
an update to libksane) at that time. I just noticed there is another 
update the appeared in the last several days, don't know if I should try 
that.
The rpm install packages from Brother are located at:

use the brscan4 rpm for this usb printer.

Thanks for your response. I'll try a few others Like change the name of 
the printer.
