Bug#999584: printer-driver-brlaser: Unable to print certain files

[denebac <denebac@yzirkind.com>]

Package: printer-driver-brlaser
Version: 6-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: denebac@yzirkind.com

Dear Maintainer,

Certain documents containing images will not print.

Many (if not all) printer models are affected by this.

This bug has been reported[1] and fixed[2] upstream. However, no new release
has been made upstream, and the developer has not been active in more than a
year.

Can this package be updated to the latest master or at least a patch with this
fix?

Thanks
