Wireless printer appears to be install correctly but won't print

Printing over LAN doesn't need an Internet connection to function. The traffic is all local and never gets routed outside

Is there a user name and password needed to print
 Can you ping the printer's IP address?
What is the output of :

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep cups

Thanks

Thanks for your reply,

I can't seem to locate IP address, I keep getting messages like 'unknown host'

Below is the result of the command line

If you print a test page from windows, it should give the IP

IP address is 192.168.1.218

Thanks

Can you ping that IP from Ubuntu?

I pinged the ip address and got the following message which went on and on

Andrew, did you ever find the solution? I'm in the same boat with a Brother MFC-J430W. I installed both from command line and from GDebi installer. I also edited /etc/ printcap, as instructed by Brother because it was written for a USB connection (this printer in networked). The system can see the printer because it tells me that the black ink level is low, but when I try to print a test page, nothing happens.
