Brother rpm driver fails to install. How do I trick it?

I have a Brother DCP-L3560CDW printer. Drivers are published in rpm and deb format. I picked rpm for no reason.

Code:brother-udev-rule-type1-1.0.2-0.noarch.rpm
brscan5-1.3.1-0.x86_64.rpm
linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1*
brscan-skey-0.3.2-0.x86_64.rpm
dcpl3560cdwpdrv-3.5.1-1.i386.rpmThe instructions say to gunzip and run the linux installer, but omitted making the file executable.

Code:# ./linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1
Input model name ->DCP-L3560CDW

You are going to install following packages.
dcpl3560cdwpdrv-3.5.1-1.i386.rpm
brscan5-1.3.1-0.x86_64.rpm
brscan-skey-0.3.2-0.x86_64.rpm
OK? [y/N] ->y

rpm -ihv --nodeps --replacefiles --replacepkgs dcpl3560cdwpdrv-3.5.1-1.i386.rpm

Will you specify the Device URI? [Y/n] ->
Slackware don't seem to have a lpd-directory where Red Hat seem to have. Can I possibly move files around manually? Or create lpd in /var/spool? Maybe another driver would help? Or do I have a paper weight?
