Having a strange USB print problem with my new Squeeze 
upgrade. I have an HP Laserjet 
4M+ connected to my computer on a USB port. (On the printer, the USB 
cable goes into a USB-to-parallel adaptor on the printer's parallel 
port). It worked fine with Wheezy. Now, I can only print one job. After 
that I have to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in before the next 
job will print, and I have to do it every time I want to print!

Please
 let me 
know what I should try doing. I have been doing a lot of searches and it
 seems that some people have it but there does not seem to be any 
answers. Some of the problems go back to 2005, so this must be a 
recurring error. When I look at the CUPS web interface, 
it always says that there's a percentage of the job that's printed, but 
not the whole thing. Or other times it says "Rendering completed":

"Rendering completed"

The status of the printer is "(Processing, Accepting Jobs, Not Shared)"

Now at this point I can unplug the USB cable, plug back in, and the status 
changes: "(Paused, Accepting Jobs, Not Shared)"

I click "Resume printer" on the web interface, and away she goes.

But the device ID has changed:
