George might have the final answer, maybe your model will only work via a USP connection if using the brlaser option.

But, I checked my virtual machine to see how it is connecting to the printer...

Brother_DCP-L2550DW_series
Brother_DCP-L2550DW_series (Idle, Accepting Jobs, Not Shared)
Description:	Brother DCP-L2550DW series
Location:	
Driver:	Brother DCP-L2550DW series, using brlaser v6 (grayscale, 2-sided printing)
Connection:	dnssd://Brother%20DCP-L2550DW%20series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/?uuid=e3248000-80ce-11db-8000-3c2af4d12445
Defaults:	job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=two-sided-long-edge

So it does seem to be using dnssd. This is a pretty generic F36 XFCE install so I did not do much to get that working, mostly just needed to start cups.
