I have a BIG brother also, an mfc-j6920-dw and the only fix is to wait 
till the sheet is on the out tray, before printing another copy. If its 
a multipage document, and you ask for 2 copies, you'll get page 1 on 
both sides of the first sheet, page 2 on both sides of sheet 2 yadda 
yadda.

If there is a fix, I'm sure many would appreciate it.
