This is the first time I have printed on my DCP-9020CDW since upgrading to version Linux Mint 20.1, it was working in version 20 before the upgrade with Brother drivers. The printer is now detected when booting so I assume it is now part of Linux Mint I printed in duplex portrate I have tried printing using Document Viewer, LibreOffice Writer and also using Google Chrome with the same result. Everything worked perfectly before the upgrade.

Operating System: Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon Cinnamon version: 5.6.7 Linux Kernel: 5.15.0-60-generic

I forgot to mention that I am using 64 bit. and everything else is as it was installed. I looked in the driver and found a pull down to change from single sided to double sided portrait or double sided landscape. Neither of these worked. I have now installed the drivers from Brother and that works perfectly, so my problem is resolved but the problem of the driver which installs when the printer is turned on is not resolved.
