I have been trying to get my Brother to print with the correct printable area so it will print on business card stock. The one I have
Brother HL-1440 Foomatic/hl1250 (recommended)
Does not allow for the non-printable area of the 1440 at the top of the page.

I went to the gutenprint page, downloaded and built it and ended up with
stp-brother-hl-1440.5.0.ppd
which I copied to /usr/share/cups/model/stp-brother-hl-1440.5.0.ppd

I then went through the manage printers in mozilla, but when I got to the "Model Driver for 1440" only the orginal Foomatic is listed, no listing of the new gutenprint ppd.

So, how do I get the new ppd in the list so I can modify the printer?
