Source: http://askubuntu.com/questions/395926/brother-dcp-7055w

First download and install the drivers: click here

Update /etc/sane.d/dll.conf .You must add a line with the text: brotherth4

Check the printers:

$ brscan-skey -l

Add the new printer with your new IP:

$ brsaneconfig4 -a name="WiFiScanner" model="DCP-7055W" ip=192.168.1.40

You can check the IP at your printer settings or you can try to find it using nmap (it can take a while).

$ sudo nmap -O 192.168.1.0/24
