I have a Brother MFC665CW connected wirelessly. I installed the cups and 
lpd driver rpms from the Brother site, and run a cups service on the 
computers which use that printer.

The URI for the printer is:  usb:/dev/usb/lp0

Why that URI I have no idea. I expected something like 
lpd:/192.168.2.10/PASSTHRU but the usb URI is what the install injected.

And it works. This printer also works with a Macbook Air but I have NO 
present recollection of doing the install process. It must have been 
automagic since I cannot recall it at all.
