Brother MFC-J430W printer receiving data, but not printing anything

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, and I'm trying to get a Brother MFC-J430W printer to work. I downloaded and installed Driver Install Tool from Brother's website. I unzipped it and followed the instructions on the instructions page with

sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1
MFC-J430W

it worked, and my computer sees the printer. But when I try to print, I can see on the printer's screen that it says "Receiving Data" but then it stops and goes back to its default screen. When I go to Ubuntu's printer menu and click "Show completed jobs" it shows everything I've tried to print.

Brother's install page says I should expect a prompt that says

Will you specify the DeviceURI ?

but instead I got a list of 16 choices and a prompt that said

select the number of destination Device URI.

And I chose 16, which was something like

usb://Brother/MFC-J430W?serial=BROD3F970004

I ended up getting it to work by removing all the whitespace from the path leading to the file, for example:

/media/User/Data/Downloads/favorite folder/look at the spaces/linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1

became

/media/User/Data/Downloads/favoritefolder/lookatthespaces/linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1

and then following the installation instructions
