Can't get Brother LaserJet to print from Arch Linux

Hey all, I'm really lost as this CUPS stuff is new to me. I did read the arch wiki, usually that helps a lot, this time it's not making much sense to me. I have a Brother LaserJet MFC-L8900CDW, that both KDE's System Settings, and localhost:631(cups web interface) can see. They're see the drivers, likely cause I installed the drivers from aur a couple weeks ago when I gave up pretty quickly. I don't know much of what to provide, I know cups as a service and socket are running, they're seeing the printer. But when I print something, the print queue on the web interface says that it completed, except nothing happened on the printer, and idk where to start to fix this, imagine it's pretty basic.

Is the cups queue enabled and the printer accepting jobs? Try: 

lpstat -a your_queue_name
