Try downloading the cupswrapper deb from the brother site:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_drivers.html#de
and installing it. The directions on:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_wrapper_install.html
seem to suggest that may be all that is required. Otherwise, remove the
driver and wrapper from your system ('apt-get remove <packagename>' or
your favourite package manager) and try the driver mentioned earlier in
the page the wrapper is on.
