this is how to install it on a 64bit system

brother 585 CW

first: connect printer/scanner to the router (use the menu on the device, start in menu, connect to  WLAN and enter key which is in my case for a WEP encrypted key)

then (As I'm a dpkg users)

I install the standard c library for 32bit applications; ia32-libs(Ubuntu) use synaptic fr=or this
create some folders, if it is required


mkdir /usr/lib/cups
mkdir /usr/lib/cups/filter

create /usr/share/cups/model if it does not exist

mkdir /usr/share/cups/model

install the drivers using --force-all option.


copy brlpdwrapperdcp585cw file under /usr/lib/cups/filter/ to /usr/lib64/cups/filter/

cp /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapper* /usr/lib64/cups/filter

copy libbrXXXX files under /usr/lib/ to /usr/lib32/ if /usr/lib32 exists.

cp /usr/lib/libbr* /usr/lib32/
 
and modify /etc/printcap using command
 
sudo gedit /etc/printcap
                                                                             (I have to check this nexttime it might be printcap.local) 
replace ":lp" line to the following 2 lines
:rm=(ip address of your printer)\
:rp=lp\
After this it should work, at least for me
