Updated the source files and sha256sum values. Thanks for bringing it to my attention NovaRon.

The page offsets are configured in the manufacturer's PPD. Try modifying the margin values as described in the CUPS documentation.

Sent quickcougar an email about updated URLs to the printer driver and cups wrapper. Updated URLs shown below.

I'm experiencing a 3/4 inch margin offset at the top of the page and a 1/4 inch offset on the left. This appears on the Printer Test Page as well as any printouts when comparing the same document printed from Arch vs a Windows box.

Updated wrapper source as executable. Thanks CLA.

This fails for me with a permission error similar to this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-ql570/#comment-764197

adding "chmod +x ./$_wrapper_source" before "./$_wrapper_source" fixes it as well. I didn't check if it's necessary, however I manually set the permission of /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperHL2170W to 755 afterwards and that makes the printer work.
