I got a Brother HL-L2300D LaserJet printer and hooked it into a RaspberryPI 2B running Raspbian (Bullseye) 32bit on it. I installed CUPS with printer-diver-brlaser as well as ghostscript and qpdf. I can print test pages from the CUPS Admin UI all evening, but as soon as I try printing anything from my other PC that is Fedora Silverlbue using GNOME Document Viewer (evince), the printer just blinks at me, waits 5 minutes then tells Fedora it finished printing when nothing came out.
I can then "print" pictures, but I was unable to scale the image and only got the top right 10% of the picture.

When the printer gets into this state and the LED on the device won't stop blinking, I have to power the device off, reboot the Raspberry PI and it let's me print test pages again.
