The bug appears in very similar manner on Kubuntu14.04 (Trusty Tahr). I tried all the steps proposed above and also in Bug987485, but without any positive result. The printer (in my case HP LaserJet 5L), connected via a prolific usb->parallel converter, prints at most one page (after switching off and on), then nothing. Printing the cups test page results in a stop after 38%. All the measure given in the different bug description (lpadmin -p HP_LaserJet_5L -o usb-unidir-default=true, lpadmin -p HP_LaserJet_5L -o usb-no-reattach-default=true in all permutations, removing usblp, stopping cups, cat-ing directly to /dev/usb/lp0) did not help. And - of course - the printer is switched on, and did work under ubuntu10.04 for years. Any help is highly appreciated, especially since the bug seems to persist for several years now. My feeling is, that it has to do with some disturbed bidirectional communication between printer and computer via the usb-adapter, but I cannot prove.
