Edwin,

I checked the Brother specs for MFC-7420. It has a parallel interface
as well as the USB. Try the parallel. My Brother HL-1440 printer
wouldn't work with USB interface, but it works well with the parallel.
Until someone figures out the problem with USB and Brother printers, I
suggest the parallel interface as a work-around.
