Ubuntu 14.04 Brother MFC-J825DW fails to print

I have searched online via Google, YouTube and Brother website but I was unable to find a solution.

I have an Acer Aspire V3-571 laptop, dual booted with Windows 7 Home Premium and Ubuntu 14.04.

I have J825 set up wireless. Laptop is set up wireless. Both are on my home LAN, along with Brother-HL-2270DW via USB to Dell E510 with Windows 7 Professional. I have a Netgear router WGR614v10 with wired Ethernet connection to E510 and VOIP and ISP provider.

Query of Ubuntu shows correct printer destination, printer accepting jobs. LED on J825 indicates "Receiving Data" BUT FAILS TO PRINT.

$ lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: Brother-MFC-J825DW:dnssd://Brother%20MFC-J825DW._ipp._tcp.local/
Brother-MPC-J825DW accepting requests since Thju 08 May 2014 01:14:11 AM EDT
printer Brother-MFC-J825DW is idle.
enabled since Thu 08 May 2014 1:14:11 AM EDT 

I am brand new to Linux & Ubuntu Please advise.
