I have now packaged CUPS with an alternative USB backend which does not use the usblp kernel module. You can download it here:

http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/cupsys/

Install all packages in the binary/ subdirectory using "sudo dpkg -i ...". Then do

sudo rmmod usblp

Does CUPS/system-config-printer/gnome-cups-manager see your Brother printer reliably now?

Note that the binary packages are for Ubuntu Gutsy.
