[Solved] Duplex option does not exist in CUPS for Brother HL-L3210CW

I'm trying to resolve an issue that my Brother HL-L3210CW printer does not have an option of two-sided printing. I tried adding Duplex=DuplexTumble to the file

/opt/brother/Printers/hll3210cw/inf/brhll3210cwrc

and restarting CUPS, and I still don't see the option popping up in my CUPS web-interface nor on my CLI

my output of

lpoptions -l 

is like the following

Duplex option is not showing up...

I do know for a fact that the printer supports 2-sided printing. Could it be the problem of the driver? I am using the driver from AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-hl-l3210cw/

Help please...?
