Installing brlaser CUPS drivers for printing on Apple Silicon Macs and Brother printers

Problem

You own a Mac running MacOS and want to print a document using a Brother printer. You also prefer not to use MacPorts because you have another package manger installed.

Environment

I used a 2021 Macbook Pro 14" running Sonoma 14.0
I am using Homebrew as a package manager

Recommended "vm_compressor=2" or "vm_compressor=4".

Compressor mode 4 (VM compressed + swap) and all the steps between 1st-4th descripted before, is equal than compressor mode 2 (VM compressed/encrypted without swap).

In compressor mode 1, if you disable swap, system is always 100% memory pressure, and if memory is full at some point, the system will freeze.

So i recommended mode 2 or 4 with steps to disable swap applied.
