Well, everything seems to be in order, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
Here is the list of drivers for that ID, most preferred first:

$ /usr/share/system-config-printer/check-device-ids.py 'Brother HL-1440
series' 'MFG:Brother;CMD:PCL4,PJL;MDL:HL-1440 series;CLS:PRINTER;'

Of course, by all means report a bug about the gutenprint behaviour.  I
just wanted to try to find out why that driver was being used instead of
hl1250.
