It has helped me. I had replied to this thread to note what worked for my DCP-L2550DW. Today I decided to test that for my VirtualBox F33 install. Well well, just as stated it acts like it prints and nothing happens. Selinux and Firewall did not report an issue.

So I removed the Brother rpms with `dnf erase` and then used the above.

The difference was that I did not plug in the USB, I finished up (on my Xfce4 vbox) with:
Menu / Administration / Printer Settings
 Unlock
 Add
 Network Printer / Saw the Brother there
 Used recommended from there on

This did work, the F33 VirtualBox host is printing just fine now.

Thanks much for letting me know that my printer was likely to have trouble after the F33 upgrade and for how to fix it.
