I can not reproduce, but maybe can help to re-enable button Properties: 
click "options" tab, check "Use only paper size from printer preferences".

Please search for "Brother", you can see a number of print bugs. 
But Bug 86983 seems not to confirm this.

Please close.

Brother International is pro ported to be a leader in Customer Service for the past 5+ years. I for one dispute their claim. The have the worst customer service I have ever come across.  Never will I but another of their products.  

The errors that I had described were clearly Brother driver errors. Their cleanup tools and installation (7 times) never worked.

Please thank everyone for their assistance and CLOSE this ticket.
