Let me guess: You found blog postings by unixheads who had Brother lasers with postscript support and were happy, and based on that you bought an inkjet without postscript support?
That's a mite harsh. For my ancient Brother HL5170-DN, Brother provide downloadable (sadly blob-only) deb and rpm packages. Not every printer manufacturer goes that far.
I've had success adding the printer directly via the CUPS web interface too, though it pays to be very careful about *which* port, service, page control language etc is selected from the many options that appear for that model. PCL tends to work better in my limited experience, perhaps because Brother's PostScript emulation (BRScript) seems to have a few idiosyncrasies.
