I have this silly multipurpose printer from Brother which provides a set of lpr drivers and a cupswrappter, all as rpms.
Using rpmextract.sh on MFC410CNlpr-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm I got
./usr/bin/brprintconfij2
./usr/lib/libbrcompij2.so.1.0.2
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brMFC410CNfunc
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brMFC410CNrc
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brPrintListij2
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brio04aa.bcm
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brio04ab.bcm
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brio04ac.bcm
./usr/local/Brother/inf/brio04ad.bcm
./usr/local/Brother/inf/paperinfij2
./usr/local/Brother/inf/setupPrintcapij
./usr/local/Brother/lpd/filterMFC410CN
./usr/local/Brother/lpd/psconvertij2
./usr/local/Brother/lpd/rastertobrij2
and cupswrapperMFC410CN-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm gave
./usr/local/Brother
./usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper
./usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/cupswrapperMFC410CN-1.0.0
I copied them manually to those directories and went through CUPS http://localhost:631/
Amazingly when I go to Adminstration it says "New printers found Brother MFC-410CN (Brother MFC-410CN 192.168.1.40)" Selecting "Add this printer" brings me to the next screen "Make/Manufacturer for Brother_MFC-410CN_192.168.1.40" In the selection List though I don't have anything Brother.
I'm not familier with CUPS, I must have overlooked something. Any idea?

good luck with Brother printers, Arch, and cups.
For some reason, the MFC series of printers have failed with cups.
I've posted for help a long time now and none of us can figure it out.
Some dudes got stuff working but I just can't get it.
I worked up till cup-1.2.9. I went back to 1.2.7 and nothing. Scanner works. Printer no. The same printer works PCLinuxOS but Arch is so advanced or I should say, so far ahead, to other distros so that could be the case.
I say, keep Arch, dump Brother.

This http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Brother_MFC-420CN looks promising. I'll give a try next time I have the printer and report here.
