Thanks for the files. In the error_log, I found the message:
D [23/Jun/2011:21:25:36 +0200] [Job 11] /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrappermfc235c: /usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc235c/cupswrapper/brcupsconfpt1: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad 
ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
That leads to the suspicion that the dynamic loader in your system is either incompatible with the
binaries installed by the rpm or the dynamic loader has another name (hint: on the openSUSE 11.1 
I'm just working, /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is a symlink to /lib/ld-2.9.so). I'd suggest to check your
system configuration.

>From your error_log I read in addition that the said filter exited with return code 0 dispite of the
error as indicated above. That is surely a bug; it should produce a nonzero return code in this
case.
