I guess you have to look at the cups configuration. If the printer is
properly configured/supported in cups, it should work from kpdf without
issue.

And why it is saying non-CUPS spoolers?

If you don't mind share the model. I am not very knowledgable, but someone
else can help and probably the debian user will be more fruitful.

I stick to B/W HP laser and first I used 5L for 18y which I replaced last
year with another HP.

Most important to configure the cups server - use the cups UI. Find the
model or compatible one (ppd or whatever it is called in Brother).

Check the packages required and installed - might be you need the proper
filter package.
