Can you attach your cups error_log, with debugging enabled, when trying to print with the Foomatic/hl1250 (recommended) driver as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#CUPS_error_log, you can set up a second printer with this driver to keep your working solution. This will give us more information about the error(s) that occur.
Please also note that the Brother driver for your printer has already been packed in Ubuntu in the brother-cups-wrapper-laser package in multiverse, you just need to install this package. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781355 Title: Standard driver for Brother DCP 7010 doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/781355/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
