I read this full issue report and replies and it seems I am experienced an analogous problem. Should I report the details of my case here or open a new issue?

I am using Unified Linux Driver, from Samsung's HP, since the printer was not able to print without it. After installing it, the printer was automatically discovered and I could print one page. After that, the printer goes automatically to disabled state. Re-enabling it does not work, since it is disable few seconds later. The printer used to work normally up to last week, when my computer was still running Ubuntu 14.04 (and Samsung Linux Driver). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1495971 Title: Samsung ML-1250 prints only first job and then disconnects Status in cups package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: We have: lsusb Bus 004 Device 009: ID 04e8:300e Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Laser Printer Just connected printer and started to print first job: tail -f /var/log/syslog Sep 15 14:50:18 desktop udev-configure-printer: URI matches without serial number: usb://Samsung/ML-1250 Sep 15 14:50:18 desktop udev-configure-printer: No serial number URI matches so using those without Sep 15 14:50:18 desktop udev-configure-printer: URI of detected printer: usb://Samsung/ML-1250, normalized: samsung ml 1250 Sep 15 14:50:18 desktop udev-configure-printer: URI of print queue: usb://HP/LaserJet%201200?serial=00CNCF203187, normalized: laserjet 1200 serial 00cncf203187 Sep 15 14:50:18 desktop udev-configure-printer: About to add queue for usb://Samsung/ML-1250 Sep 15 14:50:20 desktop udev-add-printer: add_queue: URIs=['usb://Samsung/ML-1250'] Sep 15 14:50:20 desktop udev-add-printer: D-Bus method call failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.redhat.NewPrinterNotification was not provided by any .service files Sep 15 14:50:23 desktop udev-add-printer: PPD: foomatic-db-compressed-ppds:0/ppd/foomatic-ppd/Samsung-ML-1250-pxlmono.ppd; Status: 0 Sep 15 14:50:24 desktop colord: Profile added: ML-1250-Gray..
