Thanks for the information.  It turns out I'm not being able to print
two-sided-long-edge with CUPS and my Brother HL-L2360DW.  I resorted to
using /etc/printcap and lpd's lpr (not CUPS's lpr) because I can then
set my printer to always do two-sided-long-edge, which is nearly 100% of
the way I print.

Sounds like an incorrect PPD, which is where the various options come
from.
I have a HL220dw and CUPS supports both simplex and duplex printing,
selectable at the time I print.
