Przemysław Kulczycki:
Can you check that printer in http://localhost:631 and make sure that
it's activated (not stopped). Also I've noticed problems with printing
with HPLIB installed, but that was with certian HP Laserjets.

NEW PACKAGE: Printer drivers for Brother needed
They didn't work (btw: official scanner drivers stopped working after 1
restart) and your package doesn't work too :/
I even turned off apparmor, but it didn't help.
Cups' logs show that everything is fine:
localhost - root [21/Feb/2008:10:10:09 +0100] POST /printers/Brother_MFC440-CN
HTTP/1.1
Przemysław Kulczycki: can you also please check the right's and
ownership of the device in question. To be sure this isn't a udev
problem

after getting the device with lsusb (should look something like: Bus 005
Device 002: ID 04f9:0193 Brother Industries, Ltd)
run ls -l /dev/bus/usb/005 and paste the output here.
