Hi, I want to install driver for my Brother DCP-J315W printer. I've downloaded driver files from brother's site, since there is no package, neither in repo nor in aur. It was in deb format, also rpm available. The driver is split into two packages: dcpj315wlpr and dcpj315wcupswrapper. I converted them to tar.gz archive with deb2targz, extracted and I don't know where to put the files to get the driver working.
Hierarchy in cupswrapper: /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcpj315w/cupswrapper/, and there are brcupsconfpt1 brdcpj315w.ppd cupswrapperdcpj315w files.
In lpr there is /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcpj315w/lpd/ where are brdcpj315wfilter filterdcpj315w psconvertij2,
and /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcpj315w/inf/ where are brdcpj315wfunc brio08ba.bcm brio08bc.bcm brio08bf.bcm brio08bk.bcm paperinfij2 brdcpj315wrc brio08bb.bcm brio08be.bcm brio08bg.bcm ImagingArea setupPrintcapij
and also usr/bin with brprintconf_dcpj315w.
Should I put them in these directories in my system?

Well there are quite a bunch of packages[1] in [unsupported] you could use as a reference. I guess taking a package from there and modifying it to fit for your printer, would be the easiest way to handle this.
