I've never got on with CUPS and alwayw use lprng + magicfilter. I have a Brother HL5240 which was working fine in this way until my HDD broke a few weeks ago. After reinstalling Sid on a new disk I had problems getting the printer to work, especially when printing from other machines on the local network. Some helpful advice from the lprng maintainer fixed that. One odd thing: the driver I got from Brother and used previously without problems now no longer worked. However, the ljet4 driver in macicfilter is fine. I have posted full details of how I got the printer working on my blog: http://www.acampbell.org.uk/serendipity/index.php; see the entry for 16 Feb for details.
