Brother network printer config for Synology DiskStation AirPrint server

1

Synology DiskStation's DSM 5+ NAS OS includes Apple AirPrint and Google CloudPrint server services. However, it doesn't include drivers for my specific printer, a Brother DCP-7065DN. Do I need to manually add the Linux drivers to DSM somehow, or are there settings that will allow this to work?

Select the closest available printer driver (Brother DCP-8045D) and the PCL_P1 printer queue (instead of BINARY_P1), and some AirPrint jobs will go through.

enter image description here

This works for printing some types of documents but not others. Images and photos do not seem to be directly printable (Photos or MMS attachments) -- the job is sent, but the printer displays 'Receiving Data' indefinitely, until the job is cancelled (Alternatively, images can be printed using the Brother iPrint&Scan app). Most other documents, even documents that contain images (e-mail), are AirPrint-able.
