Installing Brother's original drivers (printer dcp1512)

Hello. I've a printer Brother model DCP-1512. I not found the aur package for this model and I created the package through the official drivers:

http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bs … l#DCP-1512

aur script:

# Contributor: Giovanne Castro <giovannefc@ig.com.br>

pkgname=brother-dcp1510
pkgver=3.0.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Driver for the Brother DCP-1510 multifuncional printer"
url="http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html"
license=('custom:brother')

if [ $CARCH == "x86_64" ]; then
	depends=('a2ps' 'lib32-libcups')
else
	depends=('a2ps')
fi

makedepends=('rpmextract')
install="brother-dcp1510.install"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
source=(
	fix_lp.patch
	fix_path.patch
	http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/dcp1510lpr-"$pkgver"-"$pkgrel".i386.rpm
	http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/dcp1510cupswrapper-"$pkgver"-"$pkgrel".i386.rpm
)
md5sums=('0317bf337754521aff3c007fcce87c5e'
	 '0402bc86764692b02ef412ba6df3b9de'
	 '49689b80de1b5d08244eb9a9be1399fd')

build()
{
	cd $srcdir
	for i in *.rpm; do
		rpmextract.sh "$i"
	done
	patch -Np0 < ../fix_lp.patch
	cp -r "$srcdir"/opt "$pkgdir"
	mkdir -p ../pkg/var/spool/lpd/dcp1510
}

I installed the created package but when I try add the printer in CUPS configuration page, I not found in the list. How I do to use this driver?!

I bought the newer printer and until now I can't use that.

thanks.
