you can see your printer in the browser (http[s]://192.168.10.110)?

If you are connecting the printer directly [not on another print server] 
IMHO you can't use ipp.

I would try "socket://192.168.10.110:9100" as DeviceURI (JetDirect), 
formerly hp only but now it's used by a lot of printers...

https://download.brother.com/welcome/doc002358/cv_mfc6490w_ger_net_c.pdf 
which seems to be valid for mostly all newer brother mfc's says there is 
port 9100 on the device...
