The existence of a wireless interface on a printer has no bearing on
whether it supports AirPrint. Many printers have wireless interfaces
and do not support AirPrint.
In addition, an AirPrint printer does not need wireless capability on
it; it is not a requirement. The only requirement is for the printer
to broadcast mDNS.
You can see what your printer does by using the novel idea of looking
at its manual. Guess what? :)

You are the only person in this thread to own up to having an AirPrint
Brother printer. That places you in an ideal position to test the ideas
proposed in this thread and assist the OP.
I'm interested in what
avahi-browse -art > discovered
gives.
Would you please post the output here? A minimum of a Jessie install is
needed for something useful.
