Package: libgs10-common Version: 10.05.1~dfsg-1 I hope I am filing this to the correct place. I recently obtained a Brother HL-5000D laser printer. Using the recommended drivers from the print administration tool went smoothly. Printing worked perfectly except for one issue, #10 envelopes not printing correctly, even though the envelope files were formatted exactly correctly. Now, note that I did verify my belief that I had formatted the envelopes correctly by printing the same thing from a local Mint 22.1 install on the same printer, and having them print correctly, and then, further, by exporting the envelope in Debian testing to PDF, then printing said PDF, and having the envelope print correctly. Shifting position settings in LibreOffice was absolutely unsuccessful.
The nature of the improper printing, was that in printing #10 envelopes, the printer acted as if the envelope should not be centered in the feeder, but moved half way between center and the right edge of the feeder. Accordingly, the addressee address would print too high, and the return address would miss the envelope entirely. To further confirm this was a driver error, I looked at the PPD file that was installed in Mint versus the one installed in Debian testing, and they were different sizes, so clearly not the same PPDs. I then deleted the printer from Debian, then reinstalled it by manually grabbing the PPD that was being used in Mint, which is described as "Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended)" versus Debian's "Generic PCL Laser Printer [en] (recommended)" description. The PPD obtained from Mint resulted in the printer functioning correctly, as it did in Mint. When installing in Debian, before trying the Mint PPD, I tried to find an entry of the identical description, without success. Just for completeness sake, the .deb from Brother does not work at all, strangely enough. It's a 32-bit package and even with the force option, the install succeeds but the driver does not work. Even opening the .deb file and grabbing the PPD from there was ineffective. Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
