did you try this as listed on their site:
For AMD64 bit users:
Our CUPS drivers and CUPS wrapper drivers have been developed and optimised
for 32 bit Linux distributions, a list of which can be found here:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/s...fig_list2.html
However, if you are using an AMD64 bit distribution, we recommend you try
copying the file named "brlpdwrapper" from /usr/lib/cups/filter
to /usr/lib64/cups/filter.
otherwise I would email their support they are quick to reply with the
answer to your problem. if they have a solution for it...
