Scanner not found

[bushyiii]

Installed the Brothers scanner driver, Simple Scanner application doesn't see the scanner.  However, if I run lsusb I see this:"Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f9:0272 Brother Industries, Ltd".  Then run this command "sudo chmod a+w /dev/bus/usb/001/002" the problem is resolved.  However with every reboot I have to go through the process again.

Is there any way to correct this permanently?

I seriously do not know anything about this.  But have you tried to download the drivers and reinstall them? Which tool did you use for installing the drivers?

Is there something useful in this link below?
