Brother HL-2140 on MacOS 10.7 "Lion"

[Andrew Howard]

Printer: Brother HL-2140
OS: MacOS 10.7 "Lion"
Driver: CUPS 4.0.1

This is the only computer in the house that has trouble. Others are
running Debian, MacOS 10.6 "Snow Leopard", or Windows XP/7. The printer
appears properly over Bonjour network advertising, but when added is
unable to find an appropriate print driver. It prompts to install
automatically, but fails and says to contact the manufacturer. Brother's
website lists the latest driver as CUPS 4.0.1. I upgraded to that from
4.0.0. At that point, I can add the printer and specify the correct
driver (which does identify as 4.0.1 in the Printer Utility), but
attempts to ascertain printer status or to print documents both fail.

Is this an issue anyone else has reported?

Brother's response:

Thank you for taking the time to write us regarding your HL-2140.  
Printer sharing is a function of your operating system. Although the
Brother machine may work with the printer sharing, we cannot guarantee
that it will work.  If you would still like to use this feature, please
contact Apple for further assistance.

Of course, CUPS.org does not even list the HL-2140 as a supported model, so I'm not sure who's really responsible for writing the driver. Should I bump this over to the MacOS support fora, or is here good?
