Just to expand on the above, I have Brother DCP-7055 connected to a server on my LAN. With Avahi running (all machines) and cups-browsed running on the client hosts, the remote printer shows up as a local printer on my other hosts, and I can print to it without any explicit configuration or driver needed on those hosts. An R.Pi could print to CUPS sever in a similar fashion.
You just configure it with a raw print queue, and let the clients send the processed print jobs.
CUPS clients (configured with Brotehr driver)---->R.Pi CUPS sever(configured with raw print queue)
Yes, that can also be done....
R.Pi (configured with raw print queue)---->x86 CUPS server (configured with Brother driver)
I think your missing my question in #29 - the RPi and the printer are the only devices in the network! Looking to print from the RPi to the Wireless or wired Brother printer - there are no x86 or other print servers in the home, only these two devices. I can set the Brother as a cloud based printer via google - but still faces with no printer drivers for the RPi to process the print jobs.
