I have recently came back to a desktop configuration and I am trying to connect to my Brother MFC-J3930DW printer (the printer works very well with my Asus laptop) using an AC1300 Dual Band USB Adaptor (Wifi 5). The Linux printer drivers are directly downloaded from Brother.
The rtl88x2bu-dkms-git package is installed as well as linux-zen kernel headers. The printer was detected through CUPS, but I cannot print. It initially gives a message:
cfFilterChain: pdftopdf (PID 20940) exited with no errors.
which holds for about 10 seconds, then it falsely reports the page has been printed.

I have solved the issue by selecting the Brother MFCJ-3930DW driverless option along with the IPP Everywhere driver. Finally, it works. It did not work with the Brother CUPS driver, but that has to do with CUPS configuration and not with the network adapter.
I consider the post would be better suited to the Applications and desktop environment section, so I am asking the moderators to move it there .
