David,

which printer model? are you using cups? You will need to give more infos,
like what application you are using for printing as well...

Printer is a Brother MFC7360N laser printer-scan-fax combo.  I'm
using CUPS and lpr.  All applications that print exhibit this
problem.  It is particularly troublesome when exact alignment is
necessary, like when printing sheets of labels.

Hello David,

As far as I can see there is no information about this printer at
Openprinting. This is a pity as it appears to work well overall on
Linux.  Please would you say which driver (PPD) you are using. If it is
the Brother one a URL would be useful.

Now, would you try this: install a print queue from the web interface at
localhost:631 using the Generic PostScript driver. How does printing a
page turn out? There is no need to delete your existing print queue.

I'm using Brother's driver packs available at http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-7360N These work fine with Squeeze. I did have to downgrade python-cups 1.9.61-0.1 for both the Squeeze and Wheezy boxes because I got error messages. This is detailed elsewhere.

Attempting to print using the Generic Postscript driver resulted in the printer endlessly spitting out blank pages.
