This is from the Brother site:

Linux users can download from Brother.com the LPR and CUPSwrapper 
drivers here: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html
They work on i386 Ubuntu, but did NOT install on Ubuntu-64 bit for me, I 
could not get the --force-architecture command to work on Ubuntu-64 
Gutsy Gibbon 7.10. Installed nicely running i386 Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.05 
on the AMD64 platform with the 32 bit OS. For this and other software 
issues, I gave up the Ubuntu 64bit OS for the 32 bit OS, and glad I did, 
end of endless work-arounds.
