CentOS - Sep 2014 - brother printers VS systemd

I've used Brothers printer driver installer tool to install drivers
on C7 for a DCP7650DN. Cups thinks printing is working fine, but
nothing ever arrives at the printer: the printer remains asleep.

Looking at some of the setup instructions for the brother driver, it
looks as if it wants a symbolic link of /etc/init.d/cups to /etc/init.d/lpd.
neither of those exists in a systemd system, so I'm at somewhat of a loss
regarding what to do.

Or, maybe there's some other problem entirely that I haven't yet
stumbled
upon.

Suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance!

I've had nothing but problems with printing from Centos 7 (see my previous
thread about this matter) and eventually gave up and use one of my Centos 6
computers as a print server instead of this one.

Having said that, can you dig a ppd file out of that Linux installer you
downloaded from the brother website?  Perhaps that's all you need to
install.
