I got stuck on a few different paths, but haven't pursued them further. If someone else can report getting this working on a Mac, that would be helpful.

After running sudo make install, brlaser.drv wouldn't copy due to a permissions error. I looked online, and they suggested disabling SIP, which I haven't pursued.
I tried manually copying the ppd file into /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources. Then, when I went to System Preferences, chose Add Printer, chose Other, and selected the file, it seemed to add the printer. But, when I tried to print, I got the standard, unhelpful, "The software for the printer was installed incorrectly. Would you like it to be repaired?" prompt. Clicking "Repair" didn't work.

Brother decided not to keep the HL-2270DW drivers up-to-date.

Environment

OS: macOS Monterey 12.0.1

@philipkd I had the same prompt "The software for the printer was installed incorrectly. Would you like it to be repaired?" and pressing repair did not work but the following command fixed it:

sudo chown root:wheel /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertobrlaser
