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!
