I have checked the attached PPD and it shows that your printer is not 
only an AirPrint printer but an IPP Everywhere printer, so it fulfills 
the newest standard for driverless printing.

Now please activate CUPS' debug logging using the command

cupsctl --debug-logging

After that please print on this print queue with different settings and 
from different applications. Please tell what works and what does not work.

Indpendent of whether everything works or not, please attach your 
/var/log/cups/error_log file to your answer to this mail right after 
your printing tests.

This is to make absolutely sure that correct IPP Everywhere printing 
happens on your printer (and I can ask the Brother guys in the PWG that 
they should do their homework of adding their printers to 
http://www.pwg.org/dynamo/eveprinters.php).

If the scanner works without installing anything, then all is fine and 
you do not need to install any driver.

Perhaps you can scan also using the web admin interface (on my HP this 
works).

If you need a scanner driver, please install only the SCANNER drivers 
from Brother, as the PRINTER drivers are not needed any more for you. 
Try whether you can scan now.
