[cups] problem printing to a Brother MFC-J6920DW printer

I'm hoping someone can help me. I've been using CUPS for years without 
issue.  I installed Ubuntu 22.10 on a laptop and can not get the printer 
to work. When I do a test print from the CUPS web interface, it says the 
job completed. On an older 22.04 system on the same network, it prints fine.

Looking at it with wireshark, the only activity is SNMP requests and 
responses. It is not sending the print job.

The only think I can find in the error_log is:

D [09/Dec/2022:23:09:32 -0600] [Job 37] 
/usr/lib/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_mfcj6920dw: 129: 
/opt/brother/Printers/mfcj6920dw/cupswrapper/brcupsconfpt1: not found
D [09/Dec/2022:23:09:32 -0600] [Job 37] 
/opt/brother/Printers/mfcj6920dw/lpd/filtermfcj6920dw: 68: 
/opt/brother/Printers/mfcj6920dw/lpd/brmfcj6920dwfilter: not found

Both those files exist. The first is a shell script, and the second a 
binary. The were installed from the same .deb files on both machines.

After hitting my head against the wall for a couple days, I'm at a loss.

Thanks,

Andy
