When you're copying or scanning, CUPS isn't involved. CUPS does a lot of things but it's very slow. I haven't spent a lot of time fooling around with this printer or with CUPS, but once upon a time when I had a nice Epson I found LPRng to be much faster than CUPS at getting the data over to the printer.

I assume that the Brother isn't lying when its display reads "Receiving Data", which is what it reads through most of a print cycle. I have no idea how to fix it, but I suspect that a native driver would probably be much faster than a filter. Not that I know of a native driver.
