Brother HL-L2380DW Drivers

I'm having trouble making a working PKGBUILD to install RPMs with the drivers for a Brother HL-L2380DW laser printer.  Could anyone help me?  I'd like to make Arch my one and only distro.  Thanks in advance!

Re: Brother HL-L2380DW Drivers

I adopted and fixed the brother-mfc-j870dw package on AUR. My impression was that most Brother products will be supported with slight variations on the same PKGBUILD. Rather than try to figure out all the things that are needed to create an Arch Linux install from an RPM, I suggest you download a few Brother PKGBUILD and piece yours together.

Look for PKGBUILD sprinkled with comments. A few words can make all the difference in understanding what the cryptic lines are doing.
