Just got some time to dig out my notes from installing my MFC-J430W back in
November 2013, maybe it helps someone although is for Ubuntu-12.04:

---
First configured the printer with static IP of 192.168.1.205


Printer install
================
$ sudo dpkg -i mfcj430wlpr-3.0.0-1.i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i mfcj430wcupswrapper-3.0.0-1.i386.deb

Then add the printer from the printig menu of the System Settings tool as
network printer. The MFC-J430W will be now listed under Brother printers. I
set the printer as IPP.


Scanner install
=================

$ wget
http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/brscan4-0.4.1-3.amd64.deb&lang=English_lpr
$ wget
http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/brscan-skey-0.2.4-0.amd64.deb&lang=English_lpr
$ sudo dpkg -i brscan4-0.4.1-3.amd64
$ sudo brsaneconfig4 -a name=MFC-J430W model=Brother ip=192.168.1.205
# brsaneconfig4 -q | grep MFC-J430W
 27 "MFC-J430W"
  0 MFC-J430W           "Brother"           I:192.168.1.205

Then start xsane and start scanning
