I can confirm both the bug and the 2nd fix from post #56 by Till on Xubuntu 12.04.
Details: Kernel version $ cat /proc/version Linux version 3.2.0-37-generic-pae (buildd@roseapple) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 24 15:51:02 UTC 2013 The fix that worked: $ lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-no-reattach-default=true then turn off and on the printer. Printer: OKI B410d Printer driver: Oki B410 Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e (bug occured also with pxlmono driver and OKI driver from http://my.okidata.com/pp-B410d.nsf/openingdrivermenu?OpenFrameSet lsusb: ...

I followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic- db/+bug/855412/comments/20 I printed two copies of the same document, since this forces the error easily. The content under /var/spool/cups/d... look fine - see attached files. after cupsenable <PRINTER> the first copy comes out fine - the second as random character - I stopped after some pages. The test is with Samsung ML-2250 Series (SPL II) - which worked fine under all previous versions of Ubuntu Samsung ML-2250 Foomatic/pxlmono (recommended) generates basically the same result.
