Ubuntu – Install Brother MFC 7360N for beginners

brotherdriversinstallationprinting

IIm running Ubuntu and want to install my Brother MFC 7360N printer scanner fax. I've tried to just plug in the USB cable, but the only two drivers Ubuntu shows don't work. One of them doesn't react at all and the other prints only blank pages. I've found this page, but I have no idea what CUPS are or any of that other stuff.

A little help would be great. Thanks.
