Hi,

Debian 5, CUPS, Brother HL6050D

I solved printing problems by

1) add a cups-filter to the ppd, that manipulates the final postscript file 
(in my case I added a PJL reset command)

2) use a basic makro (see oo bug 88333)

arg(1).name="Collate"
arg(1).value=true
arg(0).name="CopyCount"
arg(0).value=1
oDoc.print (arg())

Have a wonderful day

W.
