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. :)
