I have a brother printer as well, it takes a bit of messing around to set it up.

You need to download the Linux drivers from the brother site:

http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html

And follow the instructions there.

It is a bit complicated, but if you follow he instructions, and install both the cups and lpr drivers, you will get there.

Post back of you need any help.
