		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Documents a dirty workaround for brother printers... eww...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;== Troubleshooting ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== With proper paper setting, printout is shifted or cropped ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This may happen because of the way the brother drivers are made, it seems there is a bug in the handling of paper type, and it does not only affect NixOS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To see if this problem affects you, look at the `rc` file for your printer, in the package for your drivers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
/nix/store/.../opt/brother/Printers/[model]/inf/br[model]rc&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be a line as such:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
PaperType=A4&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The problem can be inverted depending on the driver, some will default to A4 and some to Letter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One way this can be worked-around is by patching the rc file at build time&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1450999&amp;amp;p=11197947#post11197947&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This will not allow switching paper type at runtime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
