Brother DCP-T710W not working on Arch Linux.

Sorry for my poor English but it has already been several months, trying to deal with this specific driver issue in Arch Linux. I got driverless printing working but I need some of the custom paper sizes which the native driver supports. I have tried using the brother-dcp-t710w-lpr-bin from the AUR but CUPS couldn't open the PPD Files (as shown in the logs below)

I've also tried to create my own AUR package using debtap as well as the Brother Packaging guide but, it still wouldn't work as well as installing the necessary 32-bit libraries. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
