Regarding the problem of my prints to a Brother printer being offset, I
found this page:
http://selig.ws/hejdo/en/computers/linux/brother-printing.html
It describes my problems exactly. The solution does not require fiddling
with potentially proprietary source code, but instead a modifies CUPS.
Trying to run this replacement cpdftocps with
/usr/share/cups/mime/local.convs as suggested in the page doesn't work.
In the "PostScript filters" section I see this:
application/vnd.cups-pdf application/vnd.cups-postscript 22 pdftops
This appears to be the same as what executes cpdftocps in Squeeze. There
seems to be some sort of cost penalty involved here that doesn't let this
line from local.convs from working:
application/vnd.cups-pdf application/vnd.cups-postscript 11 cpdftocps-mas
So I commented out the former line and added the latter line right
underneath. This fixes the print alignment problem
I don't know how this can be universalized or exactly why cpdftocps was
removed. Does this give you enough to go on to come up with a solution?
