Your problem is related to an old-generation (Foomatic 3) PPD file, similar to bug 302935. Please return to foomatic-filters 4.0.0-0ubuntu0.1 and proceed as described here:

Start system-config-printer, right-click the icon for your Brother HL-2060 ("BrotherLaser") and choose "Copy" to make a copy of your print queue, Enter a new name, like "BrotherLaser-debug". Then right-click the "BrotherLaser" again and choose "Properties". You should be in the "Settings" section of the properties dialog. There click the "Change" button in the "Make and Model" line. After loading the driver list system-config-printer lets you choose manufacturer, model, and driver. Go with the default settings by simply clicking "Forward" several times and "Apply" in the end. This should update your PPD. Try to print. It should work now.

Now you have two print queues. Your old one should be in a working state now for daily printing. The new one is a copy of the state of your old queue as it did not work. Use it for the further steps needed to fix this bug.
