I can use the Brother supplied deb files on their site but it's a little tedious and requires use of --force-architecture dpkg option as I've done on previous versions of Ubuntu but would rather use a packaged ubuntu driver if possible.  If anyone out their with this printer using any of the packaged driver files below please let me know:
