Debugging cups and trying all conceivable combos of settings didn't get me anywhere. Then I decided to start looking around the brother driver files installed under /opt/brother/Printers/hl3140cw/, where I found ./inf/ brhl3140cwrc and ./inf/brhl3140cwfunc both specifying Letter instead of A4 as paper size. So, I've set "PageSize=A4" in brhl3140cwrc and it now prints correctly aligned pages once more. I'm not sure if this is the default path for these files across distros, or if some symlink from /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ or /usr/share/cups/model/ is not working as it should. In any case, the bug seems to be that using the cups GUI interface doesn't have any effect on the driver configuration files which are by default set to PageSize=Letter and also messes up the created ppd file used by cups. I'm posting this here to save others time, should they come across the same problem. -- Regards, Mick --nextPart2773534.llT8qamRua Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
