I seem to remember there was another package of printer drivers to install,
Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the package, but it din't
seem to be printer-specific.  Before I installed the package, cups
didn't give me any Brother printers to choose from.  After, it did.

I have a brother HL-1870N.  I used a driver for an HL-1670N because it
was available at the time.  My guess is that a Brother driver for an
older printer will do for you, too.
