Trying to test a variety of printers, and I've run across an issue with the Brother HL6050DN printer.
When I print a test document using the following command:
lpr -P <queue> -o media=Letter -o landscape -o cpi=17 -o lpi=8 -# 1 <textfile>
The printer only prints blank pages (portrait prints fine). If I select Legal papersize, the printer correctly indicates it needs legal (no tray for legal), and putting legal paper in the manual tray feeds the paper - but again, nothing prints for landscape.
Interestingly - it feeds the correct number of pages for whatever the textfile is, but landscape always prints a blank page for each page.
Ideas?
