Brother printer

[Brett Alton]

The Brother drivers were packaged in 8.10 I believe, but it looks like
your exact printer's driver hasn't been packaged.

Search Brother in the Ubuntu repositories and you'll see what I mean
(brother-cups-* and brother-lpr-*).

If those drivers don't help, then I'd suggest searching Ubuntu Forums.
There are usually excellent tutorials on there.

e.g.
