dino99, unfortunately, it did not mention in your original Bug Description if this is reproducible in a prior release or not. As well, it was filled with speculation, and let alone grammar mistakes. Hence, please do not be rude, nor revert my edits, as this just simply delays your problem from getting addressed.
For more on this, please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . ** Description changed: - lp:241781 follow up - - Using a desktop with vivid i386 and a USB connected HP Photosmart C4585: - - Powering on the printer does not wake up the related usb port - - Sending a print job does not activate the USB port. + Using a desktop with vivid i386 and a USB connected HP Photosmart C4585: - Sending a print job does not activate the USB port. - Print jobs do not stay inside the queue. - Once logged into gnome-shell an icon is in the systray for a few seconds then disappears.
