Have you tried the suggestions from the Brother FAQ "The driver installation finished successfully but I cannot print. (Linux)"

Thank you for your response stevef. Yes, I'd seen those instructions and tried again, but none of those instructions match up with the options on my printer. I suspect the instructions didn't get changed when they converted to a touch screen display? I've been through every option within the printers menus, but I don't think it's the printer, it prints fine if I do a test page from the printer itself, and it copies ok, too. But no matter the attempts I've made at printing from Linux Lite the printer properties always says "idle" and doesn't print. I don't understand all the options presented for setting up the printer in LL, which doesn't help, but...I've tried them all, LOL. I am at a loss why there is an option for Serial Port which is "older" than USB?
Question, would it help if I install the latest version of Linux Lite? Ie: are there more options in the System/Printers menu in later versions?
