IIRC the issue in my particular case is related to loading and
unloading the usblp module. I have an HP LaserJet 1020 and use
foo2zjs. Attaching the printer must be done in this order:
modprobe usblp
plug in printer
rmmod usblp
If I plug in then printer without usblp (if I have blacklisted the
module), it won't work. If I plug in the printer and leave usblp
loaded, it won't work. I must load usblp, plug in the printer and then
rmmod usblp. If I add the printer in CUPS when it's in the wrong
state, it won't work either.
Usually I screw around with deleting/adding the printer until I
remember what the solution was in the first place. :)
