With the PPD file, I was able to track down the problem (at least with the hl1250 driver); there were a couple of minor bugs in the foomatic-rip code when sending JCL strings to the printer. This is fixed in -3, which will be uploaded to Debian in a few minutes.
I don't know what the problem is with Brother's PPD file; sorry.
