I'm trying to use a networked Brother printer with my RPI3 (Raspbian Stretch).
I tried several tutorials :

https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=dcp1512_us_eu&faqid=faq00000366_031
None of these solutions work.
I adde the printer inside CUPS browser utility (http://localhost:631). I can print a Test PAge from here.
But when i want to use Command Line, the printer isn't recognized.
When i use lpstat -pfor listing alvailable printers, i got this log in Command Line Terminal :
lpstat: server-error-operation-not-supported
When i'm trying to use command like lp I get this error line :
lp: Error - scheduler not responding.
I'm totally stucked. Any ideas ?
I found a solution.
Remove all CUPS installation
sudo apt-get sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop
sudo apt-get purge cups
sudo rm -rf /etc/cups
And reinstall it
sudo apt-get install cups
For convenience, you can add Printer SEttings in Raspbian Menu
sudo apt-get install system-config-printer
For enabling Recto Verso Printing, install
sudo apt-get install gtklp
