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

 

I tried downgrading some of the packages upgraded recently. I downgraded
ghostsciprt, ghostscript-x and libgs9 but that didn't help. I tried to
downgrade libcupsfilters{,-dev}, cups-filters but I couldn't because an
old cups-filters-core-drivers was not available! Therefore I don't know
if cups-filters was the problem. Is there anything that I could try?

We ***must*** have this printer working. At the moment we can't really
print ***anything*** because ***everything*** is shifted by 3 cm on the
page and the top of the page is not printed.

It is very annoying when something is broken by an upgrade.

Title:
  Brother MFC-L8650CDW cuts top of the page

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
