printing on a MFC440CN cut the document's printed head

[piviul]

Binary package hint: brother-cups-wrapper-bh7

I know the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/357732 but this one doesn't seems to be a duplicated one beacause:
- my /etc/papersize already contain a4
- doesn't seems to affect other printer (I have tried to print on a hp printer and there are no head cut of the document printed)
- I've installled the patched pstopdf proposed and the problem doesn't seems to be solved

Have a great day

Lament the same problem with the Brother DCP-135C.
 Suddenly, the press has begun to 'cut' the first part of A4 paper and I could not solve the problem.
 Also point out that it is not suggested any possible workaround.

Have you already tried to change the line "PaperType" from "Letter" to "A4" in file /usr/local/Brother/inf/br(model name)rc or /usr/Brother/Printer/modelname/inf/modelnamerc? After that, you have to restart CUPS with "sudo service cups restart". Credits go to [1].

Thank you very and very much Dominik, the workaround works! Now the print head is full printed.

I wish you a great new 2011
