It seems I have finally fixed my problem. I was having issues like those
described on bug #872483. What worked for me was doing:
lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-no-reattach-default=true
where printer is what is listed by the lpstat -p command.
In my case:
printer Lexmark-E230 is idle. enabled since Wed 19 Jun 2013 03:35:49 PM EEST
Sending data to printer.
so the above command becomes:
lpadmin -p Lexmark-E230 -o usb-no-reattach-default=true
Turned the printer off, waited a bit, turned it back on and the tried
running some print jobs. It stopped printing gibberish after completing
the first print job
Here's the relevant lsusb printout:
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 043d:009a Lexmark International, Inc.
Maybe the relevant workaround for this printer can be applied in further
Ubuntu releases.
