Cups error with network printer - Brother HL-L3210CW

I have installed a Brother network printer HL-L3210CW but I am getting an error when I try to print. The error I get (in the cups error log) is:

E [22/Jan/2019:08:11:23 +0000] Unable to open listen socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Address family not supported by protocol.
E [22/Jan/2019:08:14:37 +0000] [cups-deviced] PID 5416 (cups-brf) stopped with status 13!
W [22/Jan/2019:08:15:22 +0000] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id \'Brother_HL-L3210CW_series-Gray..\' already exists
W [22/Jan/2019:08:15:22 +0000] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id \'Brother_HL-L3210CW_series-RGB..\' already exists

Now, I have another network Brother colour laser printer (HL-3150CDW) and if I use that driver with this printer, it prints fine. But I’m trying to troubleshoot the driver that should accompany this printer.

Here’s how I installed it. I got the corresponding rpm driver from Brother and I modified the PKGBUILD, which I’ll attach below. (I used the PKGBUILD from the HL-3150CDW driver as a template.) The installation worked and successfully installed the driver. So, I guess I modified the PKGBUILD correctly. But again, when I print, it looks from the cups web interface like it printed, but nothing happens – I just see the error in the log.

Again, if I modify the printer to use the other driver, it works - no errors.

Did I modify the PKGBUILD correctly?

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Cheers,
Jules
