Brother HL-2040 printer cropping margins
 
I have a Brother HL-2040 laser printer connected via USB to my computer running Ubuntu 6.06. The driver for this printer did not come with Ubuntu, however, Brother has provided an LPR driver and a CUPS driver on their Web site, which I installed.

The bottom lines run off the end of the paper, and text is missing from the left and right sides.

I am conserned by the way the bottom margin is chopped that the printer might be printing on itself, thinking that I have longer pages in the printer, but I don't know if this can happen. I have 8.5 x 11 inch paper and tried both the Letter and the A4 settings.

I tried printing both a test print and a page from the Mozilla Firefox.

I also tried to use the PDD files included on my cd, but I get this error:
Code:

Missing PPD-Adobe-4.x header at 1:'/media/cdrom0/Driver/Pcl/Win2k_xp/ENGLISH/BH2040.PPD'
