I have a similar-sounding brother laserprinter.  I hate to say it, but I

brother: hll2395dwpdrv-4.0.0-1.i386.rpm

Nope.  Didn't work either.
Brother's driver made it stop printing altogether,
apparently put it in the state noted in my "pretends to print" thread.
Even though I had the brlaser package installed,
I decided to try the source version.
I unplugged the printer, updated the repository I already had,
and built according to instructions.
For install, I did not directly use sudo.
Instead I changed the ownership of the target directories
and changed them back after installation.
After reconnecting the printer, still no go,
not with the orginal name,
nor with the fedora-generated name.
Just for grins, I deleted both printers and put one back.
Now it prints correctly.

I hate these mighty struggles,
but at least I won this one.
