4. Installing Brother HL-L8350CDW/HL-L8360CDW Printer Driver
Then to Install Brother Printer Drivers
First, access the Target Folder:cd /tmp
And then give Execution Permission with:

If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo

Then the Installer will Provide Automatically to Download and Install the Printer and potentially also the Scanner Drivers…
Especially relevant: in case of Issue try first to Enable the 32-bit Architecture:sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Then make the needed Directory with:
sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd
Again you can try to Grab all the .deb Packages as explained before in the Download Step.

And last, Install them with:sudo apt install ./*br*.deb ./*cupswrapper*.deb ./*lpr*.deb
Next Run again the Installation Script as in the beginning!
