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:

This might be of interest:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/441897
[Brother printer MFC-230 C not detected with drivers installed in
Karmic, worked in Jaunty]

Note: also note the "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" errors... Maybe
related to the other issue off-list?

YADT64bI... (Yet Another Double-Trouble 64bit Issue) :-)
Probably should be modified to:
YADT64bKDEI
