did you follow the same steps as it is on the brothers Linux page?

from what I understood, I should be able to
1)rpm -ivh MFC5440CNlpr-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm
2)rpm -ivh cupswrapperMFC5440CN-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm

and the use the SYSTEM-->Administration-->Printing and add new printer 
as JetDirect and use the default Port (9100) and use the Printers IP.

or is you use a different method?

THanks
