Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: brother-cups-wrapper-extra


On Jaunty, the brother deb's (all installed) do not provide drivers for my  
MFC-260C.
On a fresh intrepid install, they do provide drivers for my  MFC-260C.

I have jaunty with:
brother-cups-wrapper-common
brother-cups-wrapper-extra
brother-lpr-drivers-common
brother-lpr-drivers-extra

brother-cups-wrapper-extra claims to support the MFC-260C, but when the
printer is installed it fails miserably to provide a driver and when I
browse the brother driver list, the MFC-260C is not listed.

If I manually add a printer it does choose the DCP-110C as the driver -
I don't know if that is correct but it least it picks a driver and it
does print, but the vertical alignment is wrong and the top of the page
is cut off.

(I think the test page should print the driver being used, like windows
test page does.)


$ apt-cache policy brother-cups-wrapper-extra
