Just wanted to note that there may be issues with this version of brlaser on Solus.
Currently I cannot print duplex long edge using this version of the driver.

Print Setting	Results in
Duplex long-edge	Duplex short-edge
Duplex short-edge	Duplex short-edge
Simplex	Simplex

Commonly asked questions:

• Yes my system is fully updated (Stable).
• My printers model is HL-2270DW
• Built via solbuild against commit 331da02cf9d495451643637ce7ccbe6434a6c2e7
• I installed the package using the --reinstall flag
• I deleted my printer and re-added via Print settings (system-config-printer)

More detailed info:
Owl-Maintain/brlaser#26

I would suggest testing:

• Duplex Long-edge
• Duplex Short-edge
• Simplex

Draft until duplex situation is clarified

@QORTEC
I can confirm the issue when using an HL-L2320D:

6.2.7: Prints duplex short-side when short-side OR long-side is selected
6.2.6: Prints duplex short-side and long-side as expected
Single side not affected

@davidjharder
I know what code needs to be modified to make the drive work as expected on Solus. I would be happy to create a patch file if that's what's desired.

I just wanted to note that the issue is CUPS not functioning as expected. Look at Owl-Maintain/brlaser#26 for more details.

I've personally built and tested brlaser on a Fedora Workstation LiveCD and it's working as expected there.

A patch would be great

Patch file for fixing duplex long edge on Solus: 1000-solus-duplex.patch.txt

You may want to change the printers from Duplex rotated to Duplex normal:
sed -i brlaser.drv.in -e 's|Duplex rotated|Duplex normal|g'

Setting the printers to Duplex normal should avoid any further disruption if CUPS starts respecting the duplex settings in brlaser.drv at some point in the future.

This is excellent. Thanks!

[davidjharder]

Both varieties of duplex now work as expected

LGTM. Thank you!
