Bug Description
I have an HP DeskJet 5150 connected via USB to my desktop. I think I can print normally from my desktop, but I'm not sure, since I mostly use it as a server.
I connect to my printer via IPP on my laptop. When I print, it'll print the first inch or two of the document, then stop. I have to log in to my desktop and re-enable the printer (I do it from the CUPS website, localhost:631). Then, it prints normally.
My printer is configured to automatically turn itself on when it receives a job, and back off after it's been idle for a while. The problem only seems to occur for jobs printed when the printer is off. If I manually turn the printer on before sending the job, if works fine.
This problem only started to occur within the last several weeks. Before that, everything was fine. I can't remember, though, what updates came at that time.
Other notes:
- Both my desktop and my laptop are running Gutsy.
- There is a forum thread which recounts other people's similiar experiences. Everyone who's posted so far is using an HP printer. http://
- Bug 139317 might be related to this one, but this isn't a duplicate, since the other one has already been fixed. And my problem didn't begin until long after the other one was fixed.

Same problem here with HP Deskjet 5550. deskjet_ 5550?serial= MY2CH1M15K2L
Description: hp deskjet 5550
Location:
Printer Driver: HP DeskJet 5550 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: hp:/usb/
It starts printing but only after a few lines on the paper cups says "unplugged or turned off" which is not true of course. I have to restart the printer manually, then it works alright afterwards.
