All attached PPDs are the same, the PPD which comes with Brother's drivers. Do not use the PPD for the DCP-1000. It was only marked after manually choosing "Brother" because it is the first in the list.
Ubuntu does not provide any driver or PPD explicitly for the Brother HL2270DW. The PPD which is on your system comes from the Brother drivers which you have obtained probably directly from Brother. I do not see any problem with the PPD and the Duplex option in it. The problem is probably a bug in Brother's driver. Most probably your printer also works with standard printer languages and this can be a way . Please try the different PCL and PostScript options offered under the manufacturer "Generic". Especially try the PCL-6/XL printer with "pxlmono", and the PCL-5e printer with hpijs and also the PostScript printer. Which ones work and does Duplex work with these drivers? Try also the Brother HL-1260 with the "hl1250" driver and the Brother HL-1030 with the "hl7x0" driver. So there is once a bug in the Brother driver. Here we cannot do something. What we can do is adding your printer to the printer database, so that one of the generic drivers gets assigned to the printer if no driver from Brother is installed. For that I need to know with which generic drivers your printer works. In addition, run the following commands and post the output here: sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/dnssd sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb For the last one the printer needs to be connected to the USB. As your info will go into the foomatic-db package, I move this bug to foomatic-db ... ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Package changed: cups (Ubuntu) => foomatic-db (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684314 Title: Unable to control duplex feature on Brother printer in Kubuntu 10.10 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
