[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.
