I'd say is like a "last resort" when you experience problems with the recommended driver, which in your case, generated a bad output when printing the UPS labels. Although the PS driver usually is the better option that provides better quality printouts, I also have found that PS it can be slower when sending complex bitmaps or PDF works to the printer. For such cases, I also have an additional printer instance configured in CUPS that uses the PCL6 driver so I can choose from where to print, depending on the job. > I wasn't looking for that to happen.

Anyway, I would report your findings either to Debian bug tracking system or directly to Brother. The PPD file for your printer is dated on 2005, maybe it's time for a deep review :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
