thanks Frank! Actually I had figured that out shortly after posting,
but was hung up on the subsequent problem for a while, and so didn't
post.

the subsequent problem is that Brother's drivers are 32-bit and
if you're using 64-bit Linux you need to install the 32-bit glibc.
Duh.

Now it's working.

I have been hung up by the same glibc 32-bit/brother problem, but I don't
know how to resolve it. This is a new Centos 7 installation. On a Centos 6
system, I simply installed the 32-version and the printer worked.

But I run into a dependency/version problem that would require ever deeper
downgrading of those libraries. When I try to install glibc.i686 , i get:

Error: Package: glibc-2.17-55.el7.i686 (base)
           Requires: glibc-common = 2.17-55.el7
           Installed: glibc-common-2.17-55.el7_0.1.x86_64 (@updates)
               glibc-common = 2.17-55.el7_0.1

Trying to downgrade glibc-common, fails on account of other glibc version
problems.

It appears that all glibc libraries, including kernel headers, were
upgraded, except for glibc.i686 (which I hadn't installed when I set up the
system) has never been upgraded.

If anyone knows what I can do, where I could find a newer 32-bit glibc,
please let me know. I can't find the matching rpm.

I had no such problems, I just did "yum install glibc.i686" and voila!
Are you sure that (1) your system is fully up to date, and (2) you haven't
installed any funky apps/libs that would be interfering here?
