Can't print on Brother DCP 1612W
I would really appreciate some help as I have spent several days trying to figure out what is going on.
I have recently bought new printer Brother DCP-1612W and would like to use. Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. CUPS finds the printer as wireless printer:
Description: Brother DCP-1610W series
Location:
Driver: Brother DCP-1610W for CUPS (grayscale, 2-sided printing)
Connection: dnssd://Brother%20DCP-1610W%20series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/
Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided
or as USB printer when the cable is connected:
Connection: usb://Brother/DCP-1610W%20series?serial=E74238J5N865607
But I can't print. Nothing comes out. I have MAC notebook where installation went paint free and wireless printing works fine.
I will really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks lot. I purged the drivers and did it again from the scratch as you explained. I don't know what I have done differently but it worked this time. May be the order of LPR and CUPS driver or restarting PC at the end ....it works fine now.

Under Ubuntu 16.04.1 x64
I did the installation as instructed on the Brother site. Everything went well at first glance, but after looking back at the terminal I noticed this:
Aucune version du paquet ia32-libs n'est disponible, mais il existe dans la base
de données. Cela signifie en général que le paquet est manquant, qu'il est devenu obsolète
ou qu'il n'est disponible que sur une autre source
Cependant les paquets suivants le remplacent :
lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0
Sorry for the French version. Loosely translated it says: No version of the package ia32-libs available.
So, after installing the 3 packages before mentioned, the printer is working just fine!

I was able to print on a Brother DCP-1612W with my Ubuntu 18.04 using WLAN.
After setting up WLAN for the printer and connecting my printer and laptop with the corresponding WLAN, I used the system-config-printer tool. I started adding a new printer. The tool detected the printer letting it appear on the list and suggesting an LPD/LPR and a AppSocket/JetDirect connection. I chose the latter. The driver wizard pointed me to a Brother DCP-1510 driver. Although not quite my printer model, using that driver, I was able to use the wireless printer as far as I needed it. Done for me!
Hope to have helped.
