I'm using Linux Mint with a Brother HL-2170 monochrome printer and a Brother MFC-9125CN on a home network. The 9125 scanner works from SimpleScan.
I have Brother HL-2170W (wireless), with "HP LaserJet Series PCL 6 CUPS" driver. I think OP's problem is more of "driver" issue, because it works with Slackware and CUPS.
I have a Brother printer/scanner too ( MFC-J6510 ). I'll admit it works well, when the drivers are installed properly. Unfortunately the drivers have to be downloaded as a script from the manufacturer, and I've found it a little buggy, requiring some tweaking after the fact to get it all working. For a newbie I'd probably recommend something else. Not sure what though, I haven't installed any other printer drivers recently.
