I believe I am in a similar situation to Tero:
Originally on 12.04 but upgraded to 12.10 to try and see if my issue
was resolved with newer CUPS so here is the relevant info for a failure
on 12.10
Situation:
1) LaserJet 6P connected to system by a USB<->LPT cable (Belkin brand
cable)
lsusb for the appropriate device
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 050d:0002 Belkin Components
and printing using Gutenprint
2) before printing there is a /dev/usb/lp0 dev setup
2) First print after a reboot of system works (I have not had a case
where this fails)
After the first print
3) at this point I see in the syslog
usblp0: removed
4) the /dev/usb/lp0 is NO longer present ...
5) If I try to print again the job hangs with Status "Processing"
6) Looking at the cups error log with the logging set to "debug" I see
the following:
[Job 1164] Got USB transaction timeout during write.
(this message periodically repeats as it keeps trying to send the
queued job)
7) at this point the usblp seems to still be present
$ lsmod |egrep usblp
usblp 18140 0
Breaking out of this bad state ...
1) if I try to simply power off the printer ... no help ...
2) if I disconnect the USB cable it does one of two things (both of
which can lead to the job getting printed)
a) sometimes unplugging and plugging it back in causes the
job to immediately start printing
b) sometimes during the unplug/replug the job gets put in a
"held" state ... and then if I release the job it will
start printing
3) If I reboot the system it will print the pending job upon reboot
Generally it seems that 2) and 3) force the /dev/usb/lp0 to get
re-insterted which allows printing of a job but it seems after printing
a job the /dev/usb/lp0 gets lost
Some other relevant info
D [18/Nov/2012:14:07:33 -0800] [Job 1167] Gutenprint: CUPS option 25
usb-no-reattach = true
D [18/Nov/2012:14:07:33 -0800] [Job 1167] Gutenprint: CUPS option 26
usb-unidir = true
I tried to play with blacklist of the usblp but did not seem to impact ...
I tried making the udev-configure-print not executable but was not able to
seemingly get it to reliably work (although at one point of testing a
combination of things it did seem for a while things were behaving somewhat
good -multiple prints without having to disconnect the cable- but then I
somehow lost the good state ...)
lpinfo -v (filtered to the line of interest)
direct usb://HP/LaserJet%206P
relevant unplug/replug syslog for situation where 2 jobs were in the queue ...
but only one gets printed and the other gets
stuck:

Title:
cups will not print to USB connected Samsung ML-4500 (with USB ->
Parallel adapter)
Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in “cups” source package in Precise:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have a working parallel laser printer: Samsung ML-4500. I have
connected this to my computer with a usb-to-parallel cable.
The cable is listed in as:
$ lsusb -s 005:005
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel
Port
Cups recognises the printer model and gnome correctly lists the
printer in system-config-printer. Any attempt to print to the printer,
however, results in the printer spinning up it's cooling fans and
heating the fusing lamp while the "data" led on the front flashes for
about 5minutes. In the cups admin screen the print job is listed as
"Sending data to printer." The printer eventually stops whirring and
shuts back down into standby with the Data led remaining static to
indicate that the printer is idle. At no point does the printer
actually begin, or finish, printing anything.
After plugging the usb cable dmesg reports:
[ 2952.148182] usb 5-3: new full-speed USB device number 5 using ohci_hcd
[ 2952.321367] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid
0x067B pid 0x2305
Upon attempting to print to the device dmesg reports:
[ 2964.457576] usblp0: removed
[ 2964.479420] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid
0x067B pid 0x2305
[ 2965.505493] usblp0: removed
[ 2965.537417] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid
0x067B pid 0x2305
[ 2969.733454] usblp0: removed
(The time period between these two dmesg output snippets shows a print
attempt directly after plugging the cable. The "usblp0: removed" does
not appear until the print spool is actively trying to print, and thus
is not a result of the hotplug event.)
Now that I have a job in the queue, cups admin screen reports that the
printer is in the following state:
ML-4500 Samsung ML-4500 daniel-MS-7693 Samsung ML-4500 Foomatic/gdi
(recommended) Processing - "Sending data to printer."
The printer is idle, however, and does not appear to be receiving any
communication since the initial attempt at printing the job (which is
also listed below):
ML-4500-3 Unknown Withheld 1k Unknown
processing since Mon 19 Mar 2012 20:05:15 GMT "Sending data to
printer."
The time is now 20:24, around twenty minutes since this particular
test job was started and still no sign of an output. Previous jobs I
have cancelled to clear the queue.
