[cups.bugs] [HIGH] STR #3676: Character swapping when printing to Brother MFC-7820 using ipp queue

[STR New]

System language German, up-to-date Gentoo Linux with a 2.6.35-gentoo-r5
kernel

Using CUPS 1.4.4 and a Brother MFC-7820N connected via LAN. Setup using
BR7820_2_GPL.ppd driver provided by Brother. Connection Protocol is
ipp://hostname/BINARY_P1

Action to perform bug:
Printing a document (A4 standard letter template) from OpenOffice 3.2.1.

Expected Behaviour:
Document should print as displayed on screen.

Actual Behaviour:
All capital "D"s are being printed as capital "A"s. Document looks fine
otherwise, but is undoubtably unuseable for production purposes.

Reproducible:
Always

Workaround(s):
a) export to .pdf before printing.
b) use lpd protocol instead of ipp.
c) configure printer using the "raw" printer driver instead of brother's
..ppd and lose all printer setup goodness.

Currently using workaround b). Still guessing as to why this is happening
using ipp though.
