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.

HTH,
Jorge
