When I attempt a print job immediately thereafter, the print dialog notes the existence of the printer but it won't actually print. After a reboot it no longer even indicates the existence of the printer until i reinstall the driver... but it still won't print.

This machine is running Mint 17.3 with KDE 4.13.
Did you install both the lpr driver and the CUPS wrapper? To get my Brother printer working (HL-3045CN, Slackware 64 14.1, 32 bit libs and OpenSUSE 12.1) I had to first install the lpr driver and then the CUPS wrapper - order of installation is important.

OK... do you know where i can get the appropriate cups wrapper for this printer? I can't find it at brother's website.
Hope it works, unless I missed it, I didn't your printer listed in the "models supported" here. On the other hand, if it worked for fido_dogstoyevsky...
Let us know how it goes...
Regards...

Actually, that's the third different Brother printer I've installed and none of them appears on the list. Brother has become my "go to" printer because of the way my installations "just worked". Apart from having to fiddle the rpm downloads for Slackware, but no dramas there.

Hi...
So it sounds like the package works universally, that's cool! HP has really good support, as well.
