Bug Description
Ubuntu 18.04 fresh install
Printer: Color Laserjet Pro MFP M477fdw
The printer suspends after 5 mins to save power.
Expected: A print request should wake the printer and print.
Actual: The printer queue goes on hold
Mitigation measures:
1) wake printer manually (from the display) + unpause queue -> does not print
2) wake printer manually + restart queue -> does not print
3) restart printer (WHY???) + unpause queue -> PRINTS !!!
This behaviour can be reproduced in 18.04 and does not exist in previous versions of Ubuntu

Cudos to my wife: Here is a more detailed and accurate description of the issue:
Preset: Printer is installed on Ubuntu 18.04
Turning on the printer and printing any document -> works
Putting notebook into suspend, after wakeup printing a document -> not printing
Mitigation:
- reboot printer
- reinstall printer software
After printer suspended (usually after 5 mins), printing a document -> not printing
After manually waking up the printer from the display and printing a document -> not printing
In all cases of not printing:
If the printer queue was held, resuming from the GUI (both methods, from Settings and the Additional printer settings queue view) the queue goes into printing status and reverts to held.
If the printer is freshly rebooted, starting a held queue leads to printing the document.
