Problem description:

Add a printer with the command: lpadmin -E -p Brother_HL-1110 -v usb://Brother/HL-1110%20series?serial=<hidden> -m drv:///brlaser.drv/br1110.ppd -o PageSize=A4 -o Resolution=1200dpi -o brlaserEconomode=False
Try to print a document: lp -d Brother_HL-1110 /usr/share/cups/data/default-testpage.pdf
The printer starts trying to print but immediately fails and an error LED starts blinking. CUPS doesn't show any error and shows that the job has succeeded.
If I change Resolution option to 600dpi it works well.

I have found on the the website of the vendor: https://www.brother.co.uk/printers/laser-printers/hl1110 Resolution: Up to 600 x 600 dpi (2400 x 600 dpi with Resolution Control)

It means that 1200dpi is not supported, but then the output of the lpoptions -l command is misleading. And how to set 2400 x 600 dpi resolution then?

Similar setup here but slightly different results. Latest version of brlaser, Raspbian. Same printer. Having the defaults set to 600 DPI means that the printer clicks on, receives the job, then does nothing (it doesn't spin up or anything like that). 1200 DPI has the same result.

Setting the default or manually sending the job at 300 DPI works just fine. I know the printer can print at 600 DPI when hooked up via USB to my laptop but connected to CUPS it's not interested.
