The problem is not in cups but in ghostscript. Downgrading ghostscript solves the problem.

For some reason even if I try to print test page (the page with Ubuntu logos) the top of the page is not printed. It looks like it's printed outside of the page as if the page contents are shifted up. Printer's self test page prints just fine. We really need this printer to do our work. I don't know if cups is the right package for this bug but feel free to correct it. What I've tried already: Reinstalling the Brother drivers (the same version as newer wasn't available). After that reinstalling the printer on printer settings.
