Start Gear (upper right corner) => System settings => Printer => Add button
The 2280 was not an option, so I recommend downloading and installing the driver per the OEM. Driver install instructions:
Invoke the installation script: not the model number is appended as an argument.
sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1 HL-2280D
When faced with selecting the connection type and its configuration: the printer is network (LAN) configured so I selected the IP address option.
Will you specify the Device URI? [Y/n] ->Y
Select option 11 => specify IP address
Type in the address and script will prompt to print test page
Ring the bell and increment the counter if you were successful with setting up your printer.
