so I tried all the drivers an one worked then I updated kernels and it died again.
$ uname -a
Linux gigabox 3.8.0-34-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 18:00:10 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I did find the error in the cups error log again
E [01/Jan/2014:10:17:10 -0800] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file "/usr/share/cups/drv/cupsfilters.drv"!

W [01/Jan/2014:10:22:05 -0800] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id 'Brother_HL-2140_series-Gray..' already exists
so i removed the file
/usr/share/cups/drv/cupsfilters.drv
the error went away but the printer still wont print. If there is any further info I can provide please message or post here I'll check regularly.
