Brother MFC-7340 is detected by cups, but not printing...

Hello, everyone.  I recently bought Brother's MFC-7340 printer/scanner/copy/fax-machine, and while I've got cups to successfully detect the printer via USB, I still can't print to it.  If I try to run a printing test, nothing happens (at least, it doesn't appear so).

The directions I followed were:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Brother_MFC-420CN (except using the MFC-7340 rpms, of course)
http://terribly-misanthropic.blogspot.c … -arch.html

Any ideas?

Edit: I added debug mode to logger.  Here were the results when I tried to print a test page:

What progress have you made with the errors reported in the log file?

Well, I tried creating a /usr/local/Brother/inf/brPrintList file and linking the libbrcomplpr2.so into the lib32 directory.

$ sudo touch /usr/local/Brother/inf/brPrintList
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbrcomplpr2.so /usr/lib32/libbrcomplpr2.so

Those errors seemed to be fixed, but I get a new error, this time:

[Job 7] Error: -P MFC7340 :invalid option !!
(repeat 9 times)

The entire log file, of course, is over here:

Actually, if I let the test page job hang around for a while, it starts complaining the printer isn't connected.  I'm gonna try and find out if it can't connect specifically through the USB, or as ethernet as well.
