My 2360D works fine on C7, but I did install the Brother drivers.
I configured it on C8 without the Brother drivers, using CUPS at port
631 where it appears to work properly, though I've not printed a lot on
it from c8.
On C8 CUPS reports that I configured it thusly:
Brother HL-2460 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.14
