I have a somewhat similar problem on a FreeBSD-8.2 machine. With a
Brother-MFC-9560CDW printer configured via CUPS. When I choose the
printer from the print option screen all I get is a blank page printed.
When I choose the LPR option, a complete document is printed. I have
CUPS-1.50 installed. I have went nuts trying to figure out the problem.
Since I don't print much from Claws, and since I can easily use the LPR
option, I just choose to ignore it.
