Brother QL-1060N label printer: unwanted media feed after print job

[Bruno Voigt <bruno@voigt.tv>]

Hi,

is there any body out there using the Brother QL label printer series
under debian/wheezy?

I'm printing labels via CUPS lp command and postscript files
to an QL-1060N with 62mm width continuous roll.

I'm facing the problem that after the print job is finished
and the label is cut as expected,
that the printer driver after a short pause seems to submit an media feed
so that 1 inch (2,54cm) of blank media is advanced
and is sticking in front of the next printed label.

I can only circumvent this by manually pressing
the cut button on the printer  before submitting the next print label job.

I have taken a look on the source of the printer driver

printer-driver-ptouch 1.3-4

but was not yet able to find the code that must be changed
to suppress the media advance.

Same result with v1.3-7 from testing/unstable.

I also tried the driver from brother, which does not advance the media
*afte*r the job,
but unfortunately prints 1,5 inch blank media *before* the actual label
data..

Any hints are greatly appreciated..

PS: Are there any other recommandable label printers that work under
debian & CUPS ?
