Are you using the recommended openprinting-ppds:0/ppd/openprinting/Brother/BR8480_2_GPL.ppd Brother MFC-8480DN BR-Script3 printer driver? The apport-collect info will tell us. As an alternative according to the specifications of the Brother MFC-8480DN it also supports PCL6. So you can also try if a Generic PCL6 driver especially Foomatic/pxlmono or Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e for this B/W laser printer gives better results. Let us know which one works best comparing speed and graphics output quality.

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.
