BTW the printer is a Brother MFC-7840W . I borrowed an HP 8100 and used the HP driver. It did not have the same problem printing.

Did you install the Brother printer drivers from the Brother site. They make debs for their products.

No. I can give that a try though.

Do I want the LPR or CUPS wrapper driver or both? I do mainly document printing. I thought Ubuntu would find the driver for me? It always has with past versions.

You want the wrapper first, then the lpr. You need both debs.

Why can't you just use the foomatic driver? That always worked well enough for me before. The Brother site is a nightmare of "pre required instructions" etc.
