For people that don't use color when printing, this is an excellent
printer. Very low price, and the cartridges last a long time.

You can get compatible toner cartridges made by other companies even
cheaper.

When I was using Linux Mint it worked right out of the box. With MX
Linux I had to download the drivers from Brother's website.

Quick spin through the manual indicates there's no input menu on the
printer itself; so printer configuration for WiFi (ssid, password, etc)
would require the printer to first be connected with USB...

Well if absolutely nothing else work, read the manual.
I would stretch, not before you tried all other things.

Did you try?

I did, many times. I looked around my computer stuff in a box and I
found a cable, which I tried and the HL-L2325DV is now printing. It
seems like a fragile working arrangement, because when I tried moving
the usb plug around to a more permanent location it crapped out. I got
it to work again but don't ask me to repeat my steps. This will suffice
for now, and I am very timid to explore the wireless aspects of this
printer. Thanks to all who contributed to possible solutions.

If it works, it works.
Personally I have good experiences with Brother although I don't think I ever used the internal WiFi.
My current "Brother" is is cable networked and can be accessed wireless too by phones laptop and tablets
but I think that goes via my router.

The 2300d does not have Wireless.

If the part number has a "w" on the end, that is a wireless product.

You need a language lawyer and an if-then-else specialist when reading
these specification pages (unfortunately). Nobody makes single
product web pages, with clearly stated exact specs. You need your decoder
ring to figure out there is no Wifi. Even the manuals cover six different
printers, instead of one printer.

https://support.brother.com/g/b/spec.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=hll2300d_us_eu_as

Other diffs, are the amount of static RAM onboard and the missing 1x16 LCD display.
These may indicate a reduced function set. There might not be a way to do an SSID
or a password or an IP address, without the convenience of a local display.
(Installing a Wifi mini card inside the printer, would not be enough to make the
device into one of the other SKUs.)

In the past, we used to rate laser printers by their protocol support (PCL6,
PostScript for LPR, direct PDF). About 2MB is enough to do a basic PostScript
interpreter. So finding 8MB is not the end of the world. But given how "silent"
the marketing materials are about protocols, I would guess the printer does
pixmaps like my inkjet might be doing it.

At work, we did our own hardware driver card, for an early Canon laser. This was a "real"
laser printer, in the sense that it had a HeNe gas laser inside the chassis. There's
nothing particularly noteworthy about such an approach. The hardware interface was
a "video interface", which ran at 2Mhz or so and sent ones and zeros to the laser
so the laser could draw on the drum. This is probably not all that much different
in a sense, than what your new laser printer is doing. The USB2 interface is then
an equivalent to the old video draw interface :-) And such techniques are intended
to save the maximum amount of BOM costs. The printer with the HeNe laser, had no
processing requirements, because the protocol was so dumb. It's possible it used
wired status bits to indicate "paper jam", "no toner", and so on.

For the "smarter" laser printers, they had a 25MHz RISC processor from AMD, and that
is what would process PostScript or PCL6 or whatever. The printers used to have
a DIMM in them, so the internal memory could be upgraded. There may be no RAM
upgrade capability (or even a reason to upgrade RAM) on a modern "personal laser".

The HL-L2325DW crapped out this morning. I went through all the steps
for re-installation and it did print a couple of times but on the whole
there either something wrong with the CUPS system on my machine..20.3 or
some other glitch. I replaced usb cable with no improvement.

FWIW, if you decide the HL-L2325DW is not right for you but still want a
Brother, the HL2170W works very well with Mint (I use LMDE, the Debian
version). I have both my elderly parents set up with this model which
Mint essentially auto-configs when connected via USB. The default PPD
selected is "Foomatic/pxlmono" which usually works fine but
"Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e" tends to work best with mixed text and graphics.

Thanks, I have no fellowship with Brother products, when they work well
they work well and there are happy customers. It seems that LM is
heavily invested in HP printers, yet it also seems that those wonderful
printers that work and crank out printed matter are old and no longer
in production

I am surprised to hear that since my experience is pretty good with brother.
You did all the steps including removing the old installation?
If it doesn't work you should let them know and tell them what went wrong so they can fix it for you and others.
Brother isn't linux, so it is quite possible to "file a bug" and let them know something doesn't work.

If I knew what was wrong I would tell myself first. I am not sure what is wrong. For the record- there at least 2 ways to look at the printer-
1- From within a browser using address http://localhost:631/
2- From the menu admin/printers

I am not sure how these 2 are related, they show similar information, and the printer job can be canceled from their. Additionally a new printer can be installed, deleted, and print test page.

In my situation when in the Printers dialog I try to delete the HL-L2325DW it pops right back, is this because the machine is plugged into the usb port on the back of my desktop, it always see's the printer or is something caught in a loop?

The same thing happens in Localhost:631.

This is what I see in Localhost:631
