Duplex printing options using lp or lpr
The right place to set options for the (/this) printer, is in /opt/brother/Printers/mfc9340cdw/inf/
brmfc9340cdwrc
. The problem of always resulting in a DuplexTumble printing, was forced by the respective code-line (BRDuplex=DuplexTumble
) in this configurations file.
Setting the option in question to BRDuplex=DuplexNoTumble
, and restarting the cupsd service (in my case, using rc-service cupsd restart
for OpenRC) results in double-sided prints binded along a document's long-edge.
I came up to check for a file named like br(model name)rc only after reading this section of a relevant Ubuntu-Wiki page: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Brother/Drucker#Problembehebung
