I've got a brother HL-2140 which I've installed according to these instructions: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Brother_HL-2040. I am using the 2040 driver instead of the 2140 as there are reported issues with the 2140 driver and the 2040 driver is supposed to work anyways. It does in Ubuntu, and according to this Arch user: http://interskh.info/2008/12/install-br … linux.html
When I go to print a test page, nothing happens and the printer makes no sound whatsoever.

Downloaded PPD file from here: http://www.profv.de/brother/
Then, when I went to print, I'd get an error about foomatic. I installed the following packages: foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, foomatic-filters and it worked.
