After more testing I can say that Foomatic/hpijs (another included printer driver that supports the Brother HL-5050) works fine. The problem only happens when the Foomatic/Postscript driver is used. Is the problem with the Postscript driver, my Brother printer or with Gnome?
The answer isn't clear to me.
What is clear to me is that the Default/Recommended setup for Ubuntu in this case is faulty and will continue to affect users if not fixed. I'll be glad to continue to test and/or provide information but it isn't clear to me if this bug is being worked and if so, by who?
