I had tried that also, but tried it again.
before my last try, I power-cycled the printer.
This time it worked.
For some reason CUPS now shows two queue names:
HL-L2360D-series   Brother HL-L2360D series   localhost.localdomain
HL-L2360D          HLL2360D
both Brother HL-L2360D for CUPS    .

'Tain't as big a deal as having none,
but why does CUPS have two queue names for the printer?

I think they were the same packages that I tried to use.
In any case, they both ended in 386.

Had not heard of system-config-printer .
Neither man, info nor --help helped.
What is it suppoded to do?
Google suggests it is a GUI.
Google also suggests that it is always started through a GUI.
Is it under Sundry, Print Settings?

My printer worked in July.
At the time, it did not have Brother drivers.
I don't know what update broke it or how.

Is there an easy way to rename or alias a queue?
