Hi Radim,

Here is the english language version of the driver page, it is for a
similar model but the drivers should work:-

http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=gb&lang=en&prod=dcp7010_eu_as&os=128

If you get stuck there is more general information on linux drivers here:-

http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/index.html?c=us_ot&lang=en&comple=on&redirect=on

The general linux information pages can be a bit out of date but things
seem to work with the latest versions of Ubuntu. I have a Brother
multi-function printer, and both printing and scanning work well on
Ubuntu 16.04 when using the drivers from the Brother site.

Cheers,
