Subject: base: All prints are offset about 1cm right and 1cm up
Package: base
Severity: important
Anything printed comes out offset about 1cm right and 1cm up. This is mildly annoying for most purposes. Applications that depend on exact positioning, Glabels in particular, are rendered useless. I have a Squeeze machine that prints things perfectly aligned. Printing to the same printer with a freshly-installed Wheezy machine yields these misalignments.

Hi David,

Thanks for these precisions. Much to my despair, these Brother drivers have no 
available source and can't therefore be inclued in Debian. From the same fact, 
they can't be debugged.

So I think this is very probably a problem of this "cupswrapper" driver, not 
updated since 2011, hence probably not updated to work with cups 1.5.3.

I'm therefore hereby closing this bug. Please re-open it if there is something 
that can provably be attributed to cups (and, by extension, be fixed in cups).

Cheers,

OdyX
