I came to realize that that my previous post did not install the "HL-1430 for CUPS" driver.
What needs to be done in order to install the correct driver is: sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/cupsys /etc/init.d/lpd sudo dpkg -i hl1430lpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb sudo cp /usr/share/cups/model/brhl1430_cups.ppd /usr/share/ppd/ sudo dpkg -i cupswrapperHL1430-1.0.2-1.i386.deb This driver seems to work better, however I still had to power off / on the printer occasionally, like I had to in Breezy. However I noticed a strange thing. In Gnome, when checking Properties -> Connection for printer, it is sometimes listed a detected local printer, then it's detected as a network printer with the URI "usb://Brother/HL-1430 series" and then it's detected as network printer the URI "ipp://usb://Brother/HL-1430 series" So it seems that the USB connection is lost after printing the first job, since the printer is no longer detected as a local printer after printing the first job. -- Brother HL-1430 USB printer will only print once https://launchpad.net/bugs/57050 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
