This printer worked flawlessly in 18.3. For that system Installed using driver etc. from Brother Web Site.
In mint 19, printer is recognized and installs fine. Printing is fine except for one glitch. On two sided printing, it always tumbles the page (i.e. flips page over in portrait) regardless of printer settings. Tried to install using the old Brother install, but get an error message about missing file.
1. Anybody else using this printer and seeing same problem
2. Is there a driver file I could copy from 18.3
Printer works fine from windows 7 laptop. Wireless connection on both systems.
Wanted to try on USB, but printer not recognized and doesn't show up in suggested listings, is recognized and installs automatically as usb printer in 18.3!

You can try the kernel version installed in 18.3 to 19.

Right-click on the icon for it in the PRINTERS folder; look in MAKE & MODEL and tell us what it says there:

open a terminal; copy each command and paste into the terminal
watch the terminal; it will ask you questions; that should allow you to install the Brother drivers; if you so wish
