Debugging cups and trying all conceivable combos of settings didn't get me |
| 7 |
anywhere. Then I decided to start looking around the brother driver files |
| 8 |
installed under /opt/brother/Printers/hl3140cw/, where I found ./inf/ |
| 9 |
brhl3140cwrc and ./inf/brhl3140cwfunc both specifying Letter instead of A4 as |
| 10 |
paper size. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
So, I've set "PageSize=A4" in brhl3140cwrc and it now prints correctly aligned |
| 13 |
pages once more. |

I'm not sure if this is the default path for these files across distros, or if |
| 16 |
some symlink from /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ or /usr/share/cups/model/ is not |
| 17 |
working as it should. In any case, the bug seems to be that using the cups |
| 18 |
GUI interface doesn't have any effect on the driver configuration files which |
| 19 |
are by default set to PageSize=Letter and also messes up the created ppd file |
| 20 |
used by cups. |

I'm posting this here to save others time, should they come across the same |
| 23 |
problem. |
