Bug Description

Canon MP490 printer prints really slow
Prints about 70% page at normal speed and then prints 1 line every ~20 seconds. (Printing head makes one cycle). Even cancel button on printer takes ~20 seconds. If i disconnect USB cable it cancels at normal speed. If i disconnect USB cable while printing printer instantly rolls out unfinished page.

No such problem on Zorin OS Lite (based on Ubuntu 18.04), Windows 7.
My other samsung printer doesn't have this problem using the same USB cable on same Ubuntu 18.04 installation. Didn't have this bug on 16.04.
Using CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.13 or Canon MP490 series Ver.3.90

Printing on linux with this canon printer was always slow. Default speed before bug was 1 page per minute.
