I have the MFC-L2740DW. I guess that it is similar, but with scanning 
(and fax? Is that still a thing?)?

Mine works fine with these CUPS settings on my WLAN:

http://192.168.1.11/ipp
Name: Brother_MFC-L2740DW
Description: Brother MFC-L2740DW
Driver: Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended)

After configuration, the CUPS page reads:

Description:	Brother MFC-L2740DW
Location:	
Driver:	Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended) 
(color, 2-sided printing)
Connection:	http://192.168.1.11/ipp
Defaults:	job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm 
sides=two-sided-long-edge

For the record (and I do not think you have scanning capabilities), the 
only proprietary driver is the Brother scanner driver (brscan4 0.4.4-2 
amd64). With this installed, I ran the following and the scanner then 
worked fine in XSane:

brsaneconfig4 -a name=Brother_MFC-L2740DW model=MFC-L2740DW ip=192.168.1.11

Kind regards,
