Comment 31 for bug 550764

Installing the patch does nothing for me, either, with regard to paper size.
Of course, as well as paper size we sometimes want to change paper type and resolution as well, and these options are no longer changeable with the Brother drivers.
I have gotten no worthwhile advice from Brother in New Zealand: the number of Ubuntu users with affected printers in my country is probably way too small for them to bother with. If we all went out and bought another brand of printer tomorrow the effect on Brother's sales wouldn't even register.
Sometimes size does matter!
