So your configuration is likely two releases out of date (at least).
I just moved everything out of the way and started from scratch.
Because the printer was reasonably recent, it came down to:
$ driverless
ipp://Brother%20HL-L2390DW._ipp._tcp.local/
$
# lpadmin -p brother -v ipp://Brother%20HL-L2390DW._ipp._tcp.local/ -E -m driverless:ipp://Brother%20HL-L2390DW._ipp._tcp.local/
#
(This is in the absence of being in group lpadmin.)
$ lp -d brother file
request id is PDF-1234 (1 file(s))
$
but I did leave this file:
$ cat .cups/lpoptions
Default PDF resume=true
$
The key was moving everything out of the way and starting from scratch.
Cheers,
David.
