The CUPS pdftops filter which is used here (Ubuntu Intrepid) is the one of CUPS
1.4 and this one is a simple wrapper around the /usr/bin/pdftops filter which
comes with Poppler. The command line which CUPS uses with the Brother PPD
(PostScript Level 3) is
pdftops -level3 -paperw <width> -paperh <height> <input file> -
So the for the attached PDF file (testpage-a4.pdf, evince displays it
correctly) for example we would have
pdftops -level3 -paperw 595 -paperh 842 testpage-a4.pdf -
The output file is attached (testpage-a4-pstops.ps).
Version info:

I have also opened testpage-a4.pdf with evince and printed to a file, set A4 in
the Page Setup and chosen PostScript as output format. The result I have
attached as testpage-a4-evince.ps.
