This is a known problem on Brothers printers 
depending on application you attempt to print 
from. If you are trying from LibreOffice you can 
go to Printer Settings --> properties --> Device 
-->Printer language Type and change it from PDF 
to One of the Postscript one's. I typically use 
"from the driver". It has worked With my Brothers 
MFC J6710DW. 

It would be nice if you file a bug report with 
Brothers and maybe some day they will fix it and 
also come out with a 64-bit driver.

Hope this helps
