Thankfully I found the solution here:

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.
Thanks much.
I've cloned the repository, but I'm unclear on a couple things:
From README.md:
To compile brlaser you'll need CMake and the CUPS development packages
(libcups2-dev, libcupsimage2-dev or similar).
I've tried yum provides '*libcups*dev*' ,
but no matches found.
Get the code by cloning the git repo <!-- or downloading the [latest
release] -->. Compile and install with these commands:
cmake .
From what directory?
I might be able to get that from trial and error,
otherwise known as the poke it and see what it does technique.
I hate trial and error, especially when something should be documented.
make
sudo make install0
