Brother are not too bad at supporting printers, have you tried the 
.deb packaged drivers from the Brother site?

I  had done that before, but editing the printcap file had not been 
saved I guess, so I did it again and all is working properly.



Thanks.

[Dorset] Printer prints blocked descenders

2017-03-22 Thread PeterMerchant via dorset
I have a Brother 1212W  Laser printer. recently it has started printing 
blocked descenders.


It is worse  when printing from LibreOffice. If I save the document as a 
PDF it is not quite as bad.


I am using Kubuntu 16.04, The  brother driver is the recommended 
'Brother HL-1230 Foomatic/hl1250'


LibreOffice is Version: 5.1.6.2.


Any thoughts on how to resolve this are appreciated.
