Comment 8 for bug 959676

I've not had the chance to test the blacklisting yet, but I have tested the same printer under windows and os x through the usb-to-parallel cable, with the same symptoms. Although if I leave a print job in windows' queue and turn the computer off and back on (I don't know whether there's an issue with timing of the off vs on action of the PC to allow capacitors to discharge etc.) windows will successfully print at least one page (my job was only one page long test print) upon boot-up, but will then fail to print further documents thereafter. I have read on the web of other people having problems with this printer and usb-to-parallel cables because the printer (driver?) requires to be on the first parallel port labelled LPT1 - I assumed this to be windows-centric and not affecting Linux due to the difference in device addressing (devices being addressed through file system operations), but am now second-guessing this assumption.
