Go to System Settings -> Printers & Scanners then right-click the Brother printer and Reset the Printing System. This will remove ALL printers and drivers. The printer should support AirPrint so click the Add Printer button and it should be detected and it should then work.


Here's the product support page at Brother:

It may require a firmware update and the drivers should support Ventura. But try AirPrint first and see if that works for you. If not, try the drivers by re-installing them. Reset the Printing System again and install the drivers then add the printer.
