Problem with Brother DCP-J315W configuration

I just bought new printer, Brother DCP-J315W, but it seems, that there is no arch/aur package with drivers to this machine. I downloaded deb packages from brother's site, and converted them to tar.gz, then copied the files from this archives to my directory tree. CUPS finds my printer with web interface but all the jobs print "Unable to locate printer 'BRW0022585243C3" error.

IIRC you need to run a couple of those Brother scripts as root before CUPS will register the driver correctly. I think the scripts in the cupswrapper and lpd directories need to be be run first. Then resetup CUPS as usual.
