If someone manages to package this, they would add support to void for a large amount of brother printers. If you need me to test your package, please ping me in your pull request.

Thank you

Comment:
I have been able to create a working template and successfully printed a test page using my network-connected Brother DCP-7065DN. 
I needed to do some changes due to the contributing guidelines. So I could use some help for testing the new version.
