[STR New]

Brother printer HL-5150D was installed under Ubuntu Linux 8.10 32 bit stand
alone computer with no server and USB conncection, using CUPS 1.3.9.
Motherboard os XFX 750aSLI nforce

Several drivers and PPD file were tried using the foomatic database, but
the duplex feature always prints two sided, with flip required to view the
second side.  This occurs whether the duplex is set to off or  either of
the two duplex options.

Installation Notes:
This motherboard required the BIOS setting of USB 1.1 using legacy support
The Brother procedures and driver were tried, but the performance was very
slow - several minutes per page.
