Years of experience with Brother printers under Linux have taught me always to go to:

https://www.brother.co.uk/support/drivers

Enter your model number, select .deb and continue to a happy life.

I always save the resultant ppd from /etc/cups/ppd to a folder in my /home/me/useful-bits directory to save future hassle.
