The fix packages on Janne's PPA worked for me too. Thanks. (I have a Brother HL5240DN printer.)
Incidentally, I noticed that the quality of the output for my PDF wasn't that good when printed from evince, with respect to the smallish fonts. (Looks like a resolution issue or quality setting because some vertical lines in the fonts are twice as wide as the same letter elsewhere.) So I tried printing it from okular and it came out much better (and darker too, which may indicate a quality setting). This might be something to do with translating between PDF and PS or something, or may not be. Dunno. Anyway thought it worth mentioning in case anyone else thinks their printout quality isn't that great.
