Cant print, but can print test page

Hi, I have a weird problem with my printer Borther HL-2030:

I cant print from any application, but if I go into localhost:631 and print a test page it works. It used to work flawlessly, but somehow this problem occurred.

Any idea?

There is a bust between the new version of the "file" package and the Brother filters. What I did is downgrade to an older version of "file", but it more likely is an actual fault with the Brother filter. The easiest way to deal with the problem at the moment is just to use an older "file" package.
