I use Brother DCP-J315W printer and I installed Ubuntu 14. I can not find the driver.

I tried to set up driver via terminal but nothing come up then I try via synaptic with brother driver in the search.

I use driver DCP 350 series instead, If I print , I can see that printer try to retrieve data but nothing is printing.

The DCP-J315W driver is not available in Ubuntu 14.04 either for direct USB connection or Wireless.
It is because Brother does not make a ddp file available to Lx users for that printer.
On this page, you will find that printer DCP-315CN is supported. it might differ slightly in terms of functions and features. Just try it.
The driver to be used for it is the MFC-210C driver. I recommend you try to install either the LPR driver (detailed help found here) or the cupswrapper driver (detailed help found here) for deb distros.
Good luck.
