[SOLVED] Printer prints white instead of black

Since an system upgrade on 2013-09-18 and the following reboot, my printer started printing fully black areas and text as white. Interistingly gray remains gray. I'm using a Brother DCP-135C. Has anyone an idea which package could have introduced this issue? I uploaded the log of the update. Just before this update everything worked as expected.

Another thing, I found out, is that when printing PDFs with zathura or directly with lpr, this behavior occurs. But when printing with Firefox and PDF.js black texts are correctly printed as black, but Firefox always cuts parts of the printed pages.

My only idea is that the update of linux-firmware or somehow conflict with the Brother driver.

Can anyone help me?

Edit: Firefox seems to have the same issue, when printing black - it just doesn't seem to print text as black, but rather as gray.

Solved: I really don't understand, why gray still worked, but after readjusting and cleaning the print head everything seems fine again.
