It looks as if you downloaded the two RPMs from Brother then attempted
to follow their complicated instructions for installing them. Much
simpler is to do this:
linux-brprinter-installer-2.1.1-1 is the brother printer driver
installer I used on my HL-L2360D.
it asks a few questions, some more cryptic than others, and then
downloads and installes the required packages, after which I ran the
system-config-printer tool and set up my printer. Voila!
As I also said previously in this thread, I set up the same printer
on Centos-8 without installing any Brother drivers, by going direct
to CUPS on port 631 and selecting Brother 2460 (since it didn't offer
2360). Here are two entries from /etc/cups/printers.conf:
MakeModel Brother HL-2460 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.14
DeviceURI ipp://192.168.2.98:631/ipp
(That's the printer's IP shown there, not the system being set up.)
and it appears to work fine, for small numbers of pages printed, but it
does print double-sided and multi-page documents.
I don't know of any reason why this would not work on C7 as well,
though I haven't tried it, so YMMV and all that.
If you can back out all the stuff you've hacked, I suggest you try
one or the other of those. Since the CUPS setup is probably simpler
and/or less invasive, I'd try that first, were I you.
Good luck!
Fred
