I didn't read through the whole script, so didn't run it myself. It
looks like it downloads and installs a package called brscan (possibly
with a number postfix) for the scanner. Can you find that package in
Synaptic?

For the printer it installs a file to /etc/cups/ppd/. Is there a ppd
file in that folder that relates to your printer?

Check http://localhost:631/printers in your browser. Do you see your
printer listed there?
