Saïvann, Till, FriedChicken,

Thanks for all the time you put in easier accessible, working drivers for Brother printers.

As we use a Brother DCP-330c overhere, we will benefit from it as well.

If you need a hand testing, I like to help. I read most of the comments so far, but -owing to lack of time- did not have a look into the attached patches. (Because of that same lack of time, it could be a while before I get back to you guys, sorry in advance)

I do not use any Ubuntu package at the moment; three laptops with each their own set of Brother-supplied drivers. Installing them was enough of a problem, so misalignments were not my first worry.

It turned out an A4/letter problem, mostly.
I could get it right more or less:
- edited the ....rc file in the inf directory by hand
- set the options in the CUPS web-interface
- (for openoffice:) set /etc/papersize to A4 instead of letter

There is a hint about x- and y-shift on openprinting :

I could not find those settings on my system.

All in all: I can not promise to test 24/24, but once a week or so I must be able to do somehing about it.

Thanks for your trouble in advance!
