I'm out of ideas for now.  But I still think there's a way to solve this
because the printer is able to do PostScript; it can do two-sided

above, but it made no difference.

Have you tried Brother's newest firmware?

two-sided-long-edge.  My feeling is that these options in the PPD file
are used to know what PostScript code to include in the document.  Since
I don't see the code that the printer actually gets in the end, that's a
margin for confusion.

You can configure CUPS to spew to a file URI and then inspect
the output and spew it to the printer via nc(1).
