The printer has NOT been configured with system-config-printer but using the cups
web interface.

The ppd file in /etc/cups/ppd is correct - it is the brother printer file. In fact
I even tried copying the ppd file from my working hardy installation over this one which
had no effect (and as been mentioned before they should be the same anyhow)

For completeness-sake i attached the ppd file, but there is nothing much
to see there, it is the ppd from the brother wrapper package. Yet printing
results in a pretty screwed up test-page where it reports a Ghostscript printer
instead of the Brother driver and wrong imageable dimension.. which I find
rather puzzling.

I hope I am not doing something overly stupid without realizing it, but I wouldn't
know what that should be. As I said.. I set up the printer the same way
on a hardy installation and it works just fine.
