The saga continues. My printer now is only printing duplex, even when I select Duplex OFF in print settings.

I discovered this fix, but it would be nice if the driver configured this automatically. https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc7860dw_all&faqid=faq00100691_000

I figured it out, thanks to this reddit post.

In /usr/share/brother/printer/MFC7860DW/inf/brMFC7860DWrc change PaperType=A4 to PaperType=Letter.

It's surprising that Cups printer settings don't override this.

I'm seeing extra margin on the top of prints. Is there a setting to adjust this? Otherwise, this seems to work great.

Fixed (hopefully).

Why are you extracting the source files manually? makepkg already does it.

Thanks for reporting the bug.
