The Brother web site doesn't seem to have a driver for Linux Mint 18.2. I tried a generic setting, but this failed. The print queue shows something going through briefly but nothing arrives at the printer. The printer message panel shows "deep sleep".
The printer properties shows:
Device URI: dnssd://Brother%20HL-L2340D%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=e3248000-80ce-11db-8000-184f3248678a
Make & Model: generic text only (recommended)
Message on screen after printing:
Could not start printer. Please check your printer configuration.
