Are you able to print on the shared printer from some other machine ? Where did you get the ppd/driver you use on the server ? http://openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-HL-2140 recommends hpijs-pcl5e driver. It's also possible that the printer queue on client is wrongly configured, see bug #1010580, comment #9. How did you configure it ?
Jiri No, I was not able to print from any other machine, but printing from the server was without a problem. I tried various drivers, including hpijs-pcl5e, with same effect. However, I managed to fix the problem as follows: Based on advice in bug #1010580, comment #9, I removed driver from clients by lpadmin -p HL2140 -m raw. This caused the test page from client to be printed as a pdf-banner page. I changed the driver on the server to foomatic/hl1250. The test page and any subsequent pages then printed successfully. I tried the hpijs-pcl5e driver, but the background have a greyish colour while the foomatic/hl1250 is perfect. Will now try to implement it on all the other machines. Thanks for your assistance. I believe this is not a bug and may be closed.

Great, closing as duplicate then. > This caused the test page from client to be printed as a pdf-banner page. That's bug #919489 - we've had no idea how to solve this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1010580 ***
