I doubt it, does your handle tabloid sized paper (11x17"), including the 
scanner in its lid with an adf? Does it have 2 paper drawers?

You just showed that it doesn't Just Work, which is exactly why I run 
the brother drivers, which run just fine on a 6 core i5. Every feature 
this printer has, I can adjust from the cups menu's. The driverless 
setup can run this inkjet, w/o duplex because its w/o tray selection, 
printing everything on paper from the top smaller tray normally loaded 
with 50 cents a sheet glossy photo paper.

An arm computer has no need to run their driver, and yes, the rpi4b 
running 1500 lbs worth of 80 yo Sheldon lathe, but running buster sees 7 
shared printers from this machine right now. And they are all usable 
from that keyboard.

If their driver ever had an i386 limitation its news to me.

This printer also has a cat5 feed, with an address in my local 
192,168,xx, block, so even if its not plugged into a given machine, but 
the printer and the scanner should still be available at it ipv4 
address. That should be found by cups running anywhere on the property, 
it is not discovered. But I'm mistaken, I now recall unplugging the cat 
5 cable about 2 years ago. USB is faster at data transfer. By about 5x.
