Upon upgrade of cups a Brother MFC-255CW stopped printing. Downloading and running the new Linux installer fixed the issue. Answering a few questions made the printer great again:
Install of brother printers works best with pattern 32bit being already installed.
reinstall did not help to fix the issue.
Maybe the firewall needs to be configured?
When in trouble always temporarily stop the firewall. Sample install with firewall disabled: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/556633-Epson-XP-352-not-found-in-wi-fi?p=3049858#post3049858
Current printer installer runs fully automatic. Attach the printer with cable and run the installer:
