I have the brother dcp310cn,  there are drivers for the dcp315cn, 

my website may be useful www.zleap.net. I have put my notes on there 
regarding this printer and how I got it working before by creating 
various files manually.

you need both the lpr and cupswrapper driver.

hope this helps

If you get any more problems I will see if I can help via e-mail or 
perhaps the irc channel
