I did the command as you stated and replaced the sgO with sg1 as Xsane stated (I assume that when xsane says brother:bus4;devl, that would be sg1). I get the following error: device not found in database udevinfo: option requires an argument -- p I am new to Fedora and any help is greatly appreciated.
