Same issue with printing files from Firefox (and sometimes other applications) in Bionic with a Brother HL5250DN. The used driver does not matter (BR-Script3, PCL, PS). Related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855009#c6
Solution: Use the BR-Script3 driver, then edit (as root) the PPD for your printer (for me it's /etc/cups/ppd/Brother_HL-5250DN_Brotherscript3.ppd ). The PPD starts with some comments, then the following content: [...] *%================================================ *% Copyright(C) 2005 Brother Industries, Ltd. *% "Brother HL-5250DN BR-Script3" *%================================================ *%==== General Information Keywords ======================== *FormatVersion: "4.3" *FileVersion: "1.03" *LanguageEncoding: ISOLatin1 *LanguageVersion: English *Manufacturer: "Brother" *PCFileName: "BR5250_2.PPD" *Product: "(Brother HL-5250DN series)" *PSVersion: "(3010.106) 5" *ShortNickName: "Brother HL-5250DN BR-Script3" *ModelName: "Brother HL-5250DN BR-Script3" *NickName: "Brother HL-5250DN BR-Script3" *1284DeviceID: "MFG:Brother;MDL:HL-5250DN series;CMD:PJL,PCL,PCLXL,POSTSCRIPT;" *%==== Basic Device Capabilities ============= *LanguageLevel: "3" [...] Edit the line with "LanguageLevel" and change the "3" to "2". It should now look like this: *LanguageLevel: "2" Restart cups with "systemctl restart cups".
