Why can't I print directly from a Brother DCP-T420W connected to Wi-Fi on iMac?

Any advice to actually print using a Macintosh computer? There are many [unanswered] posts but no solutions. A new DCP-T420W connects to WiFI but can't print directly. No drivers on Apple or Brother sites. Using a USB cable also fails to print on an iMac running Ventura 13.4. The Brother iPrint&Scan only allows printing of JPG or PDF. The email option does not open an email app. The latest driver on the Brother website doesn't work.

Can you share the file again? It is gone in dropbox, been using Brother T420W via Iprint and its slow printing so I am trying to directly connect it.

Thank you so much! I tried adding it on "printers and scanners" but the file appears grayed out. What is the correct way to do it? Thanks again.

Not sure, is it in this folder?

/Volumes/Macintosh HD - Data/private/etc/cups/ppd/

I can't restart right now to see if that is what's required?
