Brother DCP-150C - Scanner not working

Hi!
I am trying to make my scanner scan but it just doesnt work...It isn't found.

This is what i did:

- Downloaded these files:

brscan-skey-0.2.1-1.i386.rpm
brscan2-0.2.4-0.i386.rpm
dcp150ccupswrapper-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
dcp150clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm

(Which is scanner and printer-drivers)

- Extracted them with rpmextract so i got a subfolder "usr" which i copied to /
Now: Printer is working flawlessly, only the scanner makes problems.

Here's the output of sane-find-scanner:

sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9, product=0x01cf) at libusb:002:002

but:

scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

(as root)

I have tried to use the brother-program "brsaneconfig2" by adding my Scanner to it, but it didnt have any use.
What am i doing wrong? I can't think of anything more to do, it's frustrating. Damn binary drivers

Thanks in advance,
Hauke

The Program brscan-skey gives me this output:

brscan-skey -l
