Public bug reported:
I have an HP DeskJet 5150 connected via USB to my desktop. I think I can
print normally from my desktop, but I'm not sure, since I mostly use it
as a server.
I connect to my printer via IPP on my laptop. When I print, it'll print
the first inch or two of the document, then stop. I have to log in to my
desktop and re-enable the printer (I do it from the CUPS website,
localhost:631). Then, it prints normally.
My printer is configured to automatically turn itself on when it
receives a job, and back off after it's been idle for a while. The
problem only seems to occur for jobs printed when the printer is off. If
I manually turn the printer on before sending the job, if works fine.
This problem only started to occur within the last several weeks. Before
that, everything was fine. I can't remember, though, what updates came
at that time.
Other notes:
- Both my desktop and my laptop are running Gutsy.
- There is a forum thread which recounts other people's similiar
experiences. Everyone who's posted so far is using an HP printer.

- Bug 139317 might be related to this one, but this isn't a duplicate,
since the other one has already been fixed. And my problem didn't begin until
long after the other one was fixed.
