CentOS - Nov 2014 - Anyone have a Brother multifunction working on Centos 7?

I have a Brother MFC 7360N, and it is refusing to print.

Given a job, the printer state shows, "Sending data to printer"; the
file
is in the spool dir; the job queue is empty, and nothing more happens.

I had used the Brother driver installer, and ran into a 32-bit problem. The
rpm runs braddprinter, which fails looking for /lib/ld-linux.so.2. I don't
know what braddprinter does, but I then tried setting up the printer
through the system printer config. Everything seems to go ok. A driver is
in /usr/share/cups.

I tried to install glibc.i686, but it wants glibc-common. I have the 64-bit
glibc-common package but do not see a i686 one available.

Thanks in adv.

I've got a Brother DCP7065DN here, and I was able to get it working
on CentOS 7 using the Brother installation program:
linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0.1

It's been a few weeks since I did it, and I didn't take notes. I recall
having to fool with it a while to make it work. The one I have now that
does work is using the IPP interface, so the Device URI is:

ipp://192.168.2.97/ipp

I seem to recall fooling around with various choices here, before
finally settling on that one (because it worked).

I don't THINK I had to hack at anything else to make it work...

good luck!

I have a DCP-540CN which is a similar but I think older network printer.
 I haven't tried it on CentOS 7 yet, but got it to work with Fedora 18
and 19 which are very similar.  I do recall having to create an selinux
policy to get it to work, so that may very well be your issue.
