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.

Usually it should just work. But you might need to run restorecon -R -v /usr after the install to set the SELinux labels correctly.

I've continued to try to get this going, but no luck so far.
I've tried the Brother installer script and it fails to set up the printer, after complained that I need the 32-bit libraries. That's from the rpm, mfc7360nlpr from Brother.
When I try to install glibc.i686, it complains that I need an older glibc-common, and trying to step back on glibc-common didn't work because of a bunch of dependencies. I'm just not sure if it's a good idea to install the glibc.i686 with nodeps, and see what happens.
I've had no luck setting this up manually. Besides not printing, the scanner won't work, which is why I want this printer.
The printer had been connected via usb to a Centos 5x machine and just installed, no problem, scanner and all.
