Could you please post (an URL to) the output of your pstops filter? (the 
output of pyur pdftops filter seems to be OK and prints on my printer, 
though it is not a Brother one).
I suspect the final PS job contains setpagedevice statements with 
contradictory settings -- or could it be that your paper tray(s) all contain 
a paper format unequal to the requested letter?
