Brother HL-2240D with CUPS does not print on Windows Machines

Hello dear arch community!

I want to print with my printer from brother over the network. It is a HL-2240D.

I did a cleaninstall of arch, installed cups and hplip with all the dependencies. Then i got to the webinterface, where i was able to add my printer and the recommended driver from a list: Brother HL-2240D Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e (recommended)
I was even able to print a testpage, so far so god!

Now I need the printer on two windows machines. Got the URL from the webinterface and added the printer with the suitable driver to my windows machine.
The Problem right now, i can not print from that windows machine. Only the testpage from the cups webinterface is working.

Does somebody habe an idea or direction to get that damn printer printing? ;-)
