You have to first install the printer to the system (AKA "create a queue"). In the main menu, there is a command for printer management--or something similar.
If you've already done this, does the printer work from other applications?

You've got me on this one...
I had assumed that GIMP simply selected already installed printers. But now I see that you have to select the printer model in GIMP, even if a queue is already defined. On my system, the choices are more limited than when installing a print queue.
More investigation required.
One thing to check--search you package manager with keyword "gimp" and see what printer driver packages are not installed. Install, and then try again.
Finally, contact Brother---if only to keep sending the message that "linux users are people too".
