Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-1
Severity: important

I installed my Brother MFC-7460DN printer - following the installation guide
and using the Debian drivers provided by Brother [1] - on my Wheezy
installation and everything worked without any issues until May 2012 as it
already did on my Squeeze installation. Probably with the update to version
1.5.3 every printed page is shifted to the right and upwards, in spite of
correct page size settings. The same issue appeared also on a Archlinux
installation with the update to 1.5.3. On Exherbo Linux using 1.5.2 everything
still works as before.

There are some similar, older reports in the internet for other Brother
printers concering the conversion from pdf to ps using poppler's pdftops [2]. A
similar issue got fix by Ubuntu providing a poppler patch [3], which has been
used by Exherbo until August 2012. But even after dropping the patch [4]
printing on Exherbo still works (using cups 1.5.2). So I think these are
related, but different issues.

Perhaps the switch to the full pdf-based printing workflow [5]  with cups-1.5.3
caused the misbehavior of the Brother driver as it seems to be a  "PostScript
printer driver".

This report was filed against a Wheezy cups. Wheezy has ceased to be
supported so the report is being closed. 

I last time I looked at behaviour of the free part of the filtering
chain I discerned no problem. Please submit a new report if the issue
arises with the present testing/unstable and it can be ascribed to this
part of the chain.

Regards,

Brian.
