Hello Till. Over a month ago I reported to Brother that their print driver appeared to be faulty. They insisted it was fine. Now since your responses, they advise to change the driver to another Brother model mfcj615 which works perfectly. I had tried another model earlier but it wasn't

The jobs get correctly executed on the CUPS side as one can see in the error_log, the problem is that the output on the printer is not correct.For the PSC-1210 it seems to be a driver bug in the upstream code of HPLIP. So please report a bug on http://launchpad.net/hplip/ to get it directly to

Hi Till. I tried another PC again, but this time with the HP. Now the print was scaled correctly, although the quality was not as good as in Windows with photoret mode. Then I tried a print to Brother using the different PC on USB and it failed. Then I tried wifi print to Brother same settings

For the HP you should still report the bug to HP. You actually do not reach the full output quality of the printer. And do not think your printer is too old. There are newer models which print with the same protocol and they probably do not reach maximum quality, too. Also report your problem on

Hi Till. I then did the HP PSC-1210 using CUPS in both Linux Mint and Linux Pinguy. It was worse than the Brother by far see attached pic. I could only print colour when dialog set as A4 and normal colour. If set as photo paper and photo I got the picture stretched and grayscale as the lower

Thanks so much Till. I will follow up as soon as possible; I have a dialog with Brother, but before reporting to them, will do the tests with HP PSC 1210 as well. I suspect you are right on with the driver anomaly, as Brother for this model have very poor firmware, which is possibly reflected
