According to https://openprinting.github.io/printers/ , this printer 
allegedly supports driverless printing through the Apple AirPrint standard, 
which is supported by current CUPS. This SHOULD include AirPrint over USB, 
if the standard is correctly and completely implemented. It may be worth 
trying, though it may expose fewer options than using the proprietary CUPS 
driver RPM.

I do not know whether this printer would also work with some Free as in 
Speech CUPS driver such as generic PostScript, PCL, or ESC/P, or such as the 
Gutenprint drivers for older Brother printer models, nor, if it would at 
all, whether that would lead to more flexibility than just using AirPrint.
