the driver appears to be corrupting the printer in some way. brother has the same problem even in their windows drivers, at least in earlier versions. the only "fix" is to break up every print job into 1-page documents, send 1 page, let it print, reboot the printer, delete the printer, re-add the printer, send the next page, etc... until you finish printing. this is really poorly designed. may only affect the USB printing. brother says "direct printing" works just fine. i take that to mean networked printing over port 9100 / jetdirect works fine. its the USB printing thats the issue

I've been running Ubuntu since version 10 and in five versions the supplied Ubuntu drivers have never worked. Sometimes I get double copies when I choose one copy. Sometimes nothing prints. Sometimes I get the message: ERROR NAME; ioerror COMMAND; image OPERAND STACK; 10 --arraytype-- 10 0 --arraytype-- Sometimes when sending a job to the printer, it just shuts down and reboots. Sometimes it prints gibberish or blank pages. It happens whether I print from Firefox or Open office.
