Public bug reported:

I'm using Epson Stylus Office B42WD with following drivers:
a) Epson Stylus Office B40W - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.8-pre1
b) Epson WorkForce 635 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.8-pre1
With both of them, when I create a print job (especially when selecting high 
resolution in options), I have to wait several minutes while cups web interface 
reports state of job as "Printing page 1, XX%". 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.
