Linux printer HP1020 driver bug ?

[Vu Pham]

Ubuntu detects this printer immediately the first time I plug it into my
workstation and it prints just fine. But I just found out a problem with
the driver as follows :

If I turn off the printer and turn it on, my workstation won't print
again although it keeps showing the printer status Ready.

To fix this, I have to plug the printer cable to a Windows system and
print something ( the Windows system has no problem printing to this
printer at all ). After that, replug the printer cable back to the Linux
workstation, then it will print just fine again.

It looks like to me that some initializing code must be sent to the
printer first before sending the print jobs  and this code is kept by
the printer until it is turned off.
