My Brother HL-L2360DW B&W laser printer
is only printing in flip mode,
i.e., when it prints 8.5x11 two-sided portrait,
to read the back page, one must flip it vertically

I think there have been changes to the PPD options for this. How are you
connecting the
printer -- wifi or USB?
USB
When I first tried to install the printer,
there was no option for this model.
The defaults for the printer is set to
job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=two-sided-long-edge
I've restarted CUPS on F38.
The problem occurs with both gedit and vim.
In the case of gedit, page setup tells me I've set it up correctly,
but it still does the wrong thing.
Is this a new install or was the printer working under Fedora in the past?
In worked under F35.
That printer claims to support AirPrint, so should work with IPP
Everywhere, but there are
also legacy CUPS PPD files
I have a separately downloaded brother-HLL2360D-cups-en.ppd from 2020.
Apparently it did not work.
With F35, I had to download and build some code, brlaser, to make it work.
With F38, I am using package printer-driver-brlaser.x86_64 from updates.
Said package apparently defined "Model"
Brother HL-L2360D series, using brlaser v6 (en) .
The "Model" listed as current lacks the (en) .
See: <https://www.pwg.org/index.html>
See: <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Printer-specific_problems>
Not seeing a lot info information on either site.
The latter seems to link to the source that was rpm'ed to make
printer-driver-brlaser.x86_64 .
Despite the name, I do not see memtion of specific problems.
I really hate the poke it and see what happens method of repair,
but I might be reduced to it.
