Fairly new to Ubuntu, back from 6.1 version 5 years ago. I am now using Ubuntu 18.04, I am installing the drivers for my Brother MFC l2740DW from the terminal, I already printed a test page and try to scan on the simple scan utility, I am anyway stuck in the terminal to this message and I do not know how to handle it form here:
