Fedora 10 auto-detects and installs my printer, but it does not print


I connected my Brother MFC-7220 via USB to my Fedora 10 x64 install and it automatically detects and installs the printer. I can see it in the cups web interface and when I print a simple gedit test document, it moves out of the queue, shows it printed successfully but the document does not print.

If I watch the LCD display on the printer, it says "Receiving Data" for a second or two, but does not print.

I don't think I need to explicitly install the CUPS Wrapper and printer driver, as it appears that is already installed per my distro.

Any ideas?

Well what I can is tell you is what I have to do to get the printer working under Fedora 10 .
Fedora know I have a Epson D98 but refuse to print , until I select
in the printer setup Epson model D 68 and than it it prints , because he do not have the driver for model D98.
Before I did this selection my printer react when a send a document to the print but did not print
