I have tried all sorts of combinations with either no improvement or a
complete loss of the option to use duplex printing. I entered Generic
PCL-5e with Foomatic/ljet4d and it worked once (no duplex printing) and
wound up with the printer having no connection. Just to tell you where I
am now: Brother HL-2170W (dhcppc1, 192.168.1.100)...LPD network printer
via dns-sd (there are two other options but not tried)...Brother HL2170W
Foomatic/hpijs-pd5e...double sided printing on. Still no duplex printing
but connected to printer. Do I have some basic setting wrong? I'm down a
lot of paper and a lot of time. Your patience and input is appreciated.
Any more ideas?
