Comment 7 for bug 41147

The old brother deb-packages include ppd files which are not correct. I'm not sure but the newer versions are maybe better. (If there are newer versions for all drivers..)

Hello all (Brother users..)

meanwhile I have an answer from the Brother Hotline in Japan:

The ppd - File they provide in her Drivers is not complete(!). In case you get the problem described here, do the following:

1) edit the affected ppd-File in /etc/cups/ppd
2) go to section *PageSize: and add a "" at each *PageSize-Line
Example for my HL1430:
*OpenUI *PageSize: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 30 AnySetup *PageSize
*DefaultPageSize: A4
*PageSize Letter/Letter: ""
*PageSize Legal/Legal: ""
*PageSize Executive/Executive: ""
*PageSize A4/A4: ""
*PageSize A5/A5: ""
*PageSize A6/A6: ""
*PageSize Env10/Com-10: ""
*PageSize EnvMonarch/Monarch: ""
*PageSize EnvDL/DL: ""
*PageSize EnvC5/C5: ""
*PageSize EnvISOB5/B5: ""
*PageSize EnvISOB6/B6: ""
*CloseUI: *PageSize
3) save and restart cups
4) open OpenOffice Print Dialog - The Page-Format list should now complete

Good luck!
Georg
