I have Ubuntu 12.04 version, and a Brother DCP-165c printer. I have used the Brother drivers for this printer.
I can scan documents but I can't print them.
Just installed the DCP 7055 (kubuntu 12.04) and it works a treat. The Brother drivers seem pretty good. Assuming the same procedure:
From here:

Download both the LPR and cupswrapper deb files and install the LPR one first. My experience was that whilst it showed all dependencies satisfied if I installed the cups driver first it produced an error. Then remove the printer and reinstall.
hope that helps
