Yes!

' lsmod | grep br ' gives no result, nor does ' modprobe -c | grep bro

So I guess that the module for brother printer is not installed.

http://192.168.1.160:631/printers/HLL2350DW

This is the printer's URL, configured with Brother's official driver.

I have used the printer on a Raspberry pi 2, it was Ok but a bit slow,
now I have upgraded to a raspberry pi 4 4GiB RAM, exactly the same
system (I moved the microSD card into the new rpi4), reinstalled the
driver and no luck.

Any ideas?
