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?
