I look into the printer setup and did not see drivers for a MFC7860DW , 
have you downloaded the drivers from Brother for that printer ?

You may try this location to find the cupswrapper-driver.rpm

And be sure to watch for those SeLinux error that popup , fix selinux 
errors as they pop up or you won't get your printer to work.  It is not 
wise to disable SeLinux.  Fedora 15 makes it real easy to fix the SeLinux
errors.
