I have the same problem with a Brother HL L2375-DW printer on Ubuntu
19.10.
This was auto-detected and added to the GNOME Printers as
'Brother_HL_L2375DW_series' - if I print double sided (long-edge) using
the then it prints the second page upside down (as though I had selected
short-edge) - but selecting short-edge also prints as short-edge.
However, I then went into 'Printer Details' via the gear menu for the
printer, and selected 'Select from Database...' and chose the 'Brother
HL-L2375DW series, driverless, cups-filters 1.25' driver. At this stage
a second instance of the printer appeared in GNOME Printers
('Brother_HL_L2375DW_series@BRW0C96E67E441E.local') - and printing to
this second instance seems to work correctly.
I am unsure how to know which PPD was used for the first auto-detected +
added instance but if you can help me to find out I will happily attach
the PPD here. See below for error_log, attrs.txt

Title:
Dell E310dw: Default driver doesn't work, driverless fails on sides
=two-sided-long-edge
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Dell E310dw printer which worked well on 19.04 has problems in 19.10:
First, I went through the CUPS web interface to add the printer. The
interface gave me a choice of two entries with the same name plus one
with "driverless" added. I chose the first entry (not driverless) and
completed adding the printer. On the Printers page, the Dell was now
listed. When I tried "Print Test Page", I got many pages each
containing a single line of symbols.
I deleted the printer in the web interface, intending to start again and
choose the second option. But after I did Delete Printer, CUPS took me back to
the Printers page which now listed:
Dell_Printer_E310dw@DELL316BAA.local Dell Printer E310dw,
driverless, cups-filters 1.25.11
So I clicked on that printer and tried Print Test Page, which worked.
So then I tried a duplex print (which is really what I need this
morning):
lp -o sides=two-sided-long-edge -o collate=true -d
Dell_Printer_E310dw@DELL316BAA.local filename.pdf
It printed the PDF 2-sided, but with the sides flipped around the
short edge, as if it was a landscape print. I tried the same command
with sides=two-sided-short-edge and it flipped the same way. So sides
is handling duplex but ignoring which edge is supposed to be used, and
defaulting to landscape which I'd guess is less commonly what people
want.
This is all using what's built into Ubuntu. I haven't yet downloaded
any extra drivers from Dell's site since Ubuntu claims to have a
driver for the printer, and I'm pretty sure it was working in 19.04 (I
may still have a working 19.04 to check that, if it would help).
