I have a Brother MFC-3820CN that is connected to my wireless router by network cable, and has the IP address of 192.168.0.11. It works fine on the Windows machines.

I've been doing a lot of searching today, and found an excellent post here on Ubuntu Forums that details installing the drivers, which I did fine. I then was able to add a network printer, and the MFC-3820CN driver was listed. For the connection properties, I have it set as a network printer (CUPS Printer (IPP)), and the URI is ipp://192.168.0.11. However, printing doesn't work - the job just stays in the queue.

Any help would be much appreciated.
