[cups.general] Help! Brother HL2140 won't print

I have installed the rpms
cupswrapperHL2140-2.0.2-1.i386.rpm
brhl2140lpr-2.0.2-1.i386.rpm
both from Brothers web site, but I need apparently a different way to make
cups aware of it. The installation instructions are both scant and confusing
at best. If I chose the 2170 family from the foomatic database, the printer
will react by spinning its rollers for a second but no other action is taken
when I attempt to print a test page. Any other option including telling cups
to use the cupswrapper via the browse function gets no response at all from
the printer.
What is the normal procedure here?
Thank you.
