George proposed the following answer:
An review on Amazon.co.uk says this printer works on Ubuntu using drivers from Brother
<http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R3UG3XTTOCP2Y5/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm>.   I have 
noticed over the years that large vendors often provide drivers for linux on support sites 
outside the USA.   Since we all know M$ would never be allowed to pressure vendors to 
drop support for non-M$ OS's in North America, I can't explain these curious omissions.

If you can't get .deb packages from Brother you can try <http://www.howtoforge.com/converting_rpm_to_deb_with_alien>.  I used this to make .deb files for Canon drivers
but I also had to use symbolic links to "rename" some libraries to the names used
in the binaries.
