I usually connect the printer to the router via ethernet. That way all of my computers can use it. I don't use the Wifi on the printer either as that isn't very reliable.
At this point, no computer can use it.
Although my printers say they can work on a network, I have them all connected by cable. I don't want to go through the trouble of trying to get them to work wirelessly and then figuring out why they don't work.
I connected it to my laptop, and it works fine. I'm going to re-install it on this Dell desktop.
I've never had a Brother printer but my ancient Canon laser printer has been chugging along with no problems, and it (along with most of my other devices) have been plugged into a UPS for years.
Sounds like you may have a driver issue.
Victory! After I got it working on the laptop, I reinstalled the software on the Dell, and it works fine. I'd love to know what the problem was, but that will remain a mystery.
I was going to print the John Deer Service Manual, but it's 358 pages. 😂
I printed a 136-page double-sided pdf with no problem.

What weight paper did you use?
What's a UPS device?
Intend to instal my new Brother 2379 on my new iMac 24 M3 which awaits unboxing. Spent a lot of time not being able to get thru to Brother for a manual yesterday. Got most of the info I'm looking for in the discussion above.
Thanx to all....

When I plugged it into the output from the UPS, it shut down the UPS - and everything on my system. After experimenting, I got it running my plugging it into a different outlet. There was only one other printer connected at the time, and no printer was turned on.
The computer could not find the printer. I finally went through a manual installation, and it is listed as the Default Printer. It printed a test page okay, but nothing from the computer.
Although I can select it to print from the print menu, it will not print from the computer. The print menu says the printer is ready.

I reinstalled all the software, and it's working fine. I just printed about three hundred pages, double-sided.
I have had two Brother Laser printers. They have both been very reliable. I have found Brother's phone support to be excellent. I would recommend you call them. No long waits on the phone; no speaking to someone whose English is difficult to understand, and successful on solving problems.
