I’ve been running Manjaro for three days and I’m about to download drivers for my Brother Printer DCP-T310 from their official website.
Here are the instructions:
Step1. Download the tool.(linux-brprinter-installer-..-.gz)
The tool will be downloaded into the default “Download” directory.
(The directory location varies depending on your Linux distribution.)
e.g. /home/(LoginName)/Download
Step2. Open a terminal window.
Step3. Go to the directory you downloaded the file to in the last step. By using the cd command.
e.g. cd Downloads
Step4. Enter this command to extract the downloaded file:
Command: gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-..-.gz
e.g. gunzip linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1.gz
Step5. Get superuser authorization with the “su” command or “sudo su” command.
Step6. Run the tool:
Command: bash linux-brprinter-installer-..- Brother machine name
e.g. bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1 MFC-J880DW
Step7. The driver installation will start. Follow the installation screen directions.
When you see the message “Will you specify the DeviceURI ?”,
For USB Users: Choose N(No)
For Network Users: Choose Y(Yes) and DeviceURI number.
The install process may take some time. Please wait until it is complete.

Rpm or dpkg is required.
Can someone help me? As far as I know there are no included rpm or dpkg packages.
Sorry for bad english.
