That's ridiculous. After six years of neglect I no longer have the device nor the EOLed Kubuntu Precise.

And only when this status changes to "Spooling page, XX%" does the printer grab the paper and start printing. In contrast, Windows driver starts printing immediately, which is what I'd wish to see in Linux too.
