The printer prints the test page...but when trying to print a non-test page the led on the printer blinks and Ubuntu gives me the message "Print completed" but no printing happens...
Can someone help ?

Are you connected to the printer by usb cable or is this a network printer? – mchid Oct 23 '18 at 1:51

Also, did you install the drivers from the brother website? – mchid Oct 23 '18 at 1:58

The USB cable is connected. I only plan to use this with my laptop. I tried everything but no luck..I installed the drivers as well... – Amir Zia Oct 23 '18 at 1:58

Followed this : askubuntu.com/questions/966106/… The drivers are detected since the leds on the printer blink when i try to print something...in the driver settings page when I click the print test page the printer actually works bbut nothing else works – Amir Zia Oct 23 '18 at 2:00
I managed to fix this by removing the driver and then:
apt-get purge cups
apt-get install cups
and then reinstalling the driver as instructed here :
Any way to get a Brother HL-L2320D to work with current Ubuntu?

This does happen sometimes (you need to remove and reinstall the drivers). I have noticed that my brother printer also likes to be on the same USB port every time I use it. – mchid Oct 23 '18 at 2:39
