I have a similar-sounding brother laserprinter. I hate to say it, but I found the available open-source driver didn't produce correct output with mine, I had to use the proprietary driver from brother: hll2395dwpdrv-4.0.0-1.i386.rpm

USB
When I first tried to install the printer,
there was no option for this model.

I have a separately downloaded brother-HLL2360D-cups-en.ppd from 2020.
Apparently it did not work.
With F35, I had to download and build some code, brlaser, to make it work.
With F38, I am using package printer-driver-brlaser.x86_64 from updates.
Said package apparently defined "Model"
Brother HL-L2360D series, using brlaser v6 (en) .
The "Model" listed as current lacks the (en) .

Not seeing a lot info information on either site.
The latter seems to link to the source that was rpm'ed to make
printer-driver-brlaser.x86_64 .
Despite the name, I do not see memtion of specific problems.
I really hate the poke it and see what happens method of repair,
but I might be reduced to it.
