scanners and cameras properties

I was curious, I recently bought a Brother MFC-420CN scanner/fax/copy device
and initally could not get it to scan. Solved that issue it was a problem
within the 'Win.ini' file. But I noticed it does not show in the 'Scanners
and Cameras' properties window within the control panel. The device works
great though. I've tried using the 'add' button (have disk option) but not
sure how/which file to have it locate.I also have a Olympus IR-500 digital
camera and when I connect it to the PC it does not show in the 'Scanners and
Cameras' properties window but it too also works great. Is this an issue or
can it be corrected? When I click 'add' within scanners/cameras properties
window it only shows a Kodak camera on the left and under 'Scanners/cameras
models it shows Kodak DC-120 digital camera, Kodak DC-25 camera. I've never
owned either one or even hooked such a camera up. I've only the Olmpus IR-500
digital camera and Brother MFC-420CN Fax/Copy/Scanner.

System:
Windows 98SE 4.10.2222A (fully updated)
Abit VL6
384MB RAM
GeForce FX5200 Ultra 128MB RAM
Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum
Plextor PX-708 DVD-RW
Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1612
Pentium 3 1000MHZ

Inbuilt support for digital cameras and scanners is spotty in Win98, and is
limited to just those few Kodak cameras
If the maufacturer's driver install adds the item to the applet it appears
in the control panel, hp g85 does, microtek scanman doesnt. If the driver
installer does not add the control panel item, it doesnt show in control
panel, it will still work.
The device may show in Device manager (system applet in Control panel I
think, or right click my computer, properties),
