The Brother HL-L2320D seems to have come on the market in early
2016. I haven't any idea when Staples decided to stock it.

I do not consider a 7-year-old product to be an antique. The
significance of 2016 is that it is four years after the
IPP-over-USB standard was ratified.
Network printers from 2016 almost certainly (always in my
experience) do ship with IPP-over-USB. For some reason USB-only
devices generally do not provide it; it's very hit-and-miss.
I do not know why all vendors (not just Brother) have taken that
decision. It's a real pain as it effectively makes the printer
a legacy model and very much limits how it fits into the Debian
printing ecosystem.
