We have prepared some patched packages for testing. It would be really nice if you would install them and give your opinion.

Testing the package:
Open a colour document (picture, hoempage, graph ...) and set the option "grayscale" in the printer dialogue. If the document is printed in grayscale you're likely not affected by this bug.
If the document is printed in colours you should install the patched package. Then try to print again with the option "grayscale".

Installing the patched package:
Add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:
   deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/domlyons/ubuntu hardy main
   deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/domlyons/ubuntu hardy main
and then make a "sudo apt-get update". After that brother-cups-wrapper should be shown as available update.

Please report your experience you make with this package! Was the problem solved? Did another problem occur?

If there were some problems you can remove the patched packages again after you reported your problem:
Remove the two lines from /etc/apt/sources.list you've added an then run the following commands:
   sudo apt-get purge brother-cups-wrapper-extra
   sudo apt-get install brother-cups-wrapper-extra
Now you've installed the "normal" hardy driver package again.
