Brother DCP165c recognised by CUPS but cant find the installed driver?

Hi all,

I've read through CUPS on the arch wiki, managed to find my printer by navigating to localhost:631 and and also installed DPC165c driver from AUR.

When adding the printer as recognised by the CUPS browser based admin it asks me to choose a make listing several makes other than the DCP165c driver I installed from the AUR.

Is there any special configuration that I'm missing to get CUPS to find the driver Installed from the AUR?

Yes I rebooted the system and started cups manually with

rc.d start cupsd

CUPS recognises the printer but can't find the driver installed from the AUR.
