I had the same problem with my Samsung printer that quit doing Landscape 
with my Mageia Linux distro. I found that it was not in fact a bug with 
LibreOffice but a problem with the printer driver. If the Brother uses 
SPL (Samsung Printer Language), and, it looks like it does, then you may 
have the same driver problem.

I solved my problem by installing the SpliX printer driver supported by 
the OpenPrinting.org site (Linux Foundation). You can find the 
installation routine here:

If it solves the problem, the fix should be reported to both the Brother 
devs as well as the SpliX group so that they can update their printer 
compatibility page.

I no longer have to go to the properties button to change the settings 
on any of my print jobs.

Cheers,

Marc
