Michael, I've just bumped into this issue. I have a Brother HL-2300D (connected via USB as well) that I installed about 2 years ago (when I had Fedora 30). I performed the installation using the script from the Brother website and everything worked fine. This morning I installed Fedora 33 (new fresh installation) and *now* the same installation procedure I did two years ago no longer works. I also tried installing the provided RPMs (that pull a bunch of dependencies and 32-bit crap) but nothing worked. Same symptoms as you mentioned. Something changed recently and Brother hasn't updated their binaries/scripts (last update time seems 2015!). Thankfully I found the solution here: https://github.com/pdewacht/brlaser That worked like a charm! After your perform "make install" it will copy just two files to: /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertobrlaser /usr/share/cups/drv/brlaser.drv Once you do this, *then* you can connect your printer and Fedora will set it up automatically. This is much better than installing all those dependencies the Brother package wants.
