Sorry guys, was busy and forgot about that issue...
I've moved to 13.10 since last report, the problem is still here.
I have the OKI printer connected through a cheap USB hub and DYMO labelwriter
directly to the PC.
That's exactly the same configuration as I had before upgraded to 13.04, which
introduced the problem and strange behavior with delays...
The USB hub was replaced to a better one and the problem didn't
dissapear.
I've connected the OKI printer directly to the PC and couldn't reproduce the
problem for now.
Will stay with that configuration to see if it will come back. The delays
between the prints are still here, but that's a minor issue.
I start to suspect in USB subsystem since there is another non-printer related
issue.
The first scan after with barcode reader will always be incomplete after the PC
was idle fro a while (probably the USB went to sleep since then, I can see it
by dimmer led on the DYMO printer).
The barcode scanner was always connected to the USB hub where OKI printer is
connected...

Title:
Prints to DYMO LabelWriter 450 are cut by prints to OKI printer
Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I have 2 printers attached to my work station: DYMO LabelWriter 450 for
printing labels and OKI B410d for printing invoices.
My business environment sends 2 jobs at about the same time, one to print a
label and one to print the invoice.
After moving to 13.04 sometimes I see that labels printing is stopped in the
middle (only half of the label gets out of the printer), the DYMO's print queue
shows that the job is "Held" for some reason.
When I manually resume the held job the label is printed again on the second
half of the label and first half of the next label, thus wasting 2 label pages
in that case.
It's hard to reproduce, but it happens pretty frequently when printing
to both of the printers.
There is another symptom that I think is related to the same issue:
Rarely the prints are not coming out at all and than I can see in print
queues that jobs sizes are with smaller sizes than I can generally see there.
That happens for both of the printers from time to time, probably current
printing job is cut by the new one.
Couldn't reproduce the problem when printing only to 1 printer at a
time and waiting for all the jobs to come out before printing to the
other.
There was no problem on 11.10 to print to both of the printers at the
same time.
