It had nothing to do with the cupsd.conf file. It was all about Brothers incorrect instructions.
In their instructions it stated: ********************* 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 and go to the directory you downloaded the file to in the last step. ********************* In reality the files had to located in /Download/Drivers and then following their instructions everything worked and automatically installed the printer also. BTW I used this URL --- http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadhowto.aspx?c=gb&lang=en&prod=hll2340dw_us_eu_as&os=128&dlid=dlf006893_000&flang=4&type3=625 which points to the Driver Install Tool. The.deb might work, but I am so new to Linux I could not figure it out.
