Brother DCP-J315W doesn't work

Hello everyone. I like Archlinux a lot, I just have a problem with my printer, Brother DCP-J315w.

It is working on linux, Brother shares packages in .deb and .rpm for it, it worked for me on Linux Mint earlier.

Now, on archlinux I have downloaded and installed AUR package for that printer from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49576 .
With that AUR pkg i have add the printer through CUPS (localhost:631), but when I try to print anything, cups responds: Unable to find printer.

I am connecting to my printer via wifi.

Any clues?

Best Regards,
Szad

This page helped me get my Brother printer working.  Maybe you will find what you need there.  Check that you have the avahi daemon running.
