Package: cups Version: 1.5.3-1 Severity: important I installed my Brother MFC-7460DN printer - following the installation guide and using the Debian drivers provided by Brother [1] - on my Wheezy installation and everything worked without any issues until May 2012 as it already did on my Squeeze installation. Probably with the update to version 1.5.3 every printed page is shifted to the right and upwards, in spite of correct page size settings. The same issue appeared also on a Archlinux installation with the update to 1.5.3. On Exherbo Linux using 1.5.2 everything still works as before.
There are some similar, older reports in the internet for other Brother printers concering the conversion from pdf to ps using poppler's pdftops [2]. A similar issue got fix by Ubuntu providing a poppler patch [3], which has been used by Exherbo until August 2012. But even after dropping the patch [4] printing on Exherbo still works (using cups 1.5.2). So I think these are related, but different issues. Perhaps the switch to the full pdf-based printing workflow [5] with cups-1.5.3 caused the misbehavior of the Brother driver as it seems to be a "PostScript printer driver".
