Public bug reported:
I installed a driver for a Brother MFC-7860DW printer (I downloaded the
driver directly from the website because it was not one of the drivers
available in the printer-configuration menu). It worked correctly for
several days, and then it started printing collections of weird symbols
and a bunch of blank pages. It would print them one-sided, even though
I had ordered duplex printing. It would do this intermittently, but the
frequency has increased dramatically. This would happen regardless of
the application I was using.
1. What I expected to happen: The document printing as it appeared on the screen
2. What actually happened: Weird strings of symbols and mostly-blank pages
(though sometimes it printed correctly)
3. Steps to make it happen:
a. Open an application (ex: LibreOffice, Firefox)
b. Open a file (or webpage)
c. Select "print"
d. Push okay (to start the printing)
