I tried to install the install Brothers own driver as suggested by
Bananabob and this didn't work.

I found some information at
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/linux_faq-2.html

What I did was, download the LPR and cups driver as suggested and then:

sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/cupsys /etc/init.d/lpd
sudo dpkg -i hl1430lpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i cupswrapperHL1430-1.0.2-1.i386.deb
lpadmin -p HL-1430 -E -v usb://Brother/HL-1430%20series -P 
/usr/share/cups/model/brhl1430_cups.ppd

However, this didn't change anything, I still have to power off and on
or pause and resume jobs to print pages after the first one.

I think the problem might be related to cups/usb, since after I print
the first page and then remove the printer and try install it again in
Gnome, it isn't autodetected, unless I power off and then power on.

I find it odd that I can pause the job in the print queue and then
resume it and then it will start printing, as if pausing puts the
printer in some state which makes it possible to print again. However
this doesn't always work the first time, suggesting that it might be a
timing issue?
