I have a DCP-L2550DW that works well. In case it might help, here is my
saved instruction for when I upgrade Fedora. This has been tested to
work. Clearly you need to adjust it for your model...
(Should check for an updated version before doing any of this)
cd /home/doug/download/installed/Brother-printer < moved them into
version based folders now.
sudo ./uninstaller_brscan4
sudo ./uninstaller_brscan-skey
sudo ./uninstaller_DCPL2550DW
sudo ./linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1
Input model name ->DCP-L2550DW
OK? [y/N] ->y
Will you specify the Device URI? [Y/n] ->Y
13 (I): Specify IP address.
select the number of destination Device URI. ->13
enter IP address ->192.168.100.152
Test Print? [y/N] ->y
Something else to consider. If I were having trouble with it I would want to dnf erase
anything installed before trying again, so...
