Bug Description
I have a Brother HL-2270DW laser printer and I'm having issues with print margins using the official drivers by Brother after I upgraded to Quantal and these issues still persist with Raring.
Other users reported similar problems with different printers mostly Brother:

I have also a Brother MFC-J6510DW inkjet all-in-one printer and it works fine.
I've found out that a workaround for the Brother original driver is to print your document as .ps file and then print that file.
However using some Generic PCL drivers I can get correct margins in particular with Foomatic/ljet4 and Foomatic/ljet4d.
Following directions in Debugging Printing Problems, I've enabled "Save debugging information for troubleshooting" and I've captured a print job. However the captured file appears to be OK whereas the printed file has wrong margins (left +6 mm; top -4 mm).
