MFC-8710 DW Works #50

Not much to say, it just works. I used the drv:///brlaser.drv/br7240.ppd driver. 

% sudo lpinfo --include-schemes usb -l -v                                                                                                                     21:45:33

Actually, I've just realized double sided printing doesn't work. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks, I'll add it in the next release.

The MFC-7240 doesn't have duplex support, so the option isn't enabled in that PPD file. Try using the MFC-7365DN PPD instead.

Wonderful, that works perfectly.
