[Bug 1479267] [NEW] Brother MFC-L8650CDW cuts top of the page

 

Public bug reported:

I've installed Brother's drivers from
http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=gb&lang=en&prod=mfcl8650cdw_eu_cn&os=128

They've worked fine until now. For some reason even if I try to print
test page (the page with Ubuntu logos) the top of the page is not
printed. It looks like it's printed outside of the page as if the page
contents are shifted up.  Printer's self test page prints just fine.

We really need this printer to do our work.

I don't know if cups is the right package for this bug but feel free to
correct it.

What I've tried already:
Reinstalling the Brother drivers (the same version as newer wasn't available). After that reinstalling the printer on printer settings.
