There is indeed a very easy solution:

  • Install all brother drivers by terminal sudo apt-get install "brother-* or by synaptic
  • Search for the printer name, e.g. dpkg -S DCP
  • Install the nearest match, in your case DCP 310CN

    I want to install a Brother DCP-J315W printer. I use Ubuntu 12.04 When I search in Brother solutions center there are drivers but they come with the instruction too bad to install. Are there other drivers? Should I use another version of Ubuntu?

    How is this different to the first step in the first answer to the question? Are you saying that the 2nd and 3rd steps are not necessary?
