Public bug reported: After upgrading to quantal, my brother hl-5240 laser printer has stopped working properly. Some files will print, but many won't. It doesn't seem to be application specific - some documents in libreoffice work, some don't, some pdfs work, some don't. But a broken file is always broken, no matter what settings I use for the printer.
When it doesn't work, the file is partially printed, but then stops in the middle of a word. The printer then prints another page with an error. Different files sometimes have different errors though. From one PDF, the error was the following: ERROR: invalidfont OFFENDING COMMAND: Type1BuildGlyph STACK: -mark- -mark- -mark- Another file produced this error: ERROR: undefined OFFENDING COMMAND: ....Undefined STACK: 441 441 441 -mark- -mark- -mark- I tried removing the printer and reinstalling, but nothing changed. I have the brother-cups-wrapper-laser, brother-lpr-drivers-common, and brother-lpr-drivers-laser packages installed. I'm also attaching the captured print job data (following instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems) for the pdf that produced the Type1BuildGlyph error above. evince has no trouble displaying this captured data as a pdf though, so I'm not sure if it will show the problem. I should add that this pdf printed just fine last week before updating, and still works on another computer I tried with an older (11.4, I think) version of ubuntu.
