I have a Brother HLL2390DW all in one connected by USB to my Kubuntu 22.04 notebook using brother-HLL2390DW-cups-en.ppd from their website.
If I issue an lp file1.pdf
it works fine, but if I issue an lp file1.pdf file2.pdf
, the printer wakes up, but doesn't print anything.
/var/log/cups/error_log shows

The other two instances were from previous attempts to hook up the printer as a networked printer using an Ethernet to USB print server adapter, etc. (I'll ask a separate question about that once this works.) I manually disabled them.
