Ok this is even better:

cd ~; wget http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/brdcp7030lpr-2.0.2-1.i386.deb; wget http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/cupswrapperDCP7030-2.0.2-1.i386.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./brdcp7030lpr-2.0.2-1.i386.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./cupswrapperDCP7030-2.0.2-1.i386.deb

It assumes your OS is 32bit, if its 64bit then run:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs; cd ~; wget http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/brdcp7030lpr-2.0.2-1.i386.deb; wget http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/cupswrapperDCP7030-2.0.2-1.i386.deb; sudo dpkg --force-all -i ./brdcp7030lpr-2.0.2-1.i386.deb; sudo dpkg --force-all -i ./cupswrapperDCP7030-2.0.2-1.i386.deb

Was it the 64bit version? Were there any hitches if so?
