That is the cupsFilter entry in the PPD and is created by a script in
the cupswrapper deb for this printer on the Brother website.

In particular see:

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+question/145783

The Deb file mentioned:

http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/mfcj615wcupswrapper-1.1.1-1.i386.deb

Contains a "cupswrappermfcj615w" script which creates this file from the
CUPS wrapper and a here document (by inspection of the script).

My guess is perhaps something is going wrong in the process, preventing
it being created, quite possibly a version thing as Brother are in the
"force" the dpkg install and hope school of thought, which is
understandable but not necessarily too clever.

Try following the comment at the end of the answers page, maybe using
"script" to record the steps so we can look at it afterwards and say
wise things like "don't start from here" :)

Also unclear what platform you are installing to, and what you've tried.
