Duplex printing error on Brother MFC-J825DW

[David Tombs]

Using the default "implicitclass" printer setup by Ubuntu, trying to do Duplex printing does not function properly. E.g., printing a four page document will result in the printer printing pages 4, 3, 2, and 1 in that order on four separate sheets of paper. Note that pages 3 and 1 print upside-down.

As in bug #2041721, manually adding the printer using "dnssd" and using that one resolves the issue. I am opening a separate bug in case this is a different root cause, though.
