Bug Description
My bug report #953350 was addressed today by an update to cups-filters. Now I can print .ps and .pdf files to my Brother MFC8680DN printer. However, when I send a text file from gedit the page header is printed correctly but the rest of the page is filled with faint dots and dashes that resemble morse code. If I send the same file to this printer using lpr, I get the same dots and dashes (although, of course, without the page header).
I also have a Brother DCP7020 printer, and the text file prints correctly on it.
