Test again - problem appears to be gone, document printed immediately OK, thanks for testing. It looks like this is the same as the bug in Ubuntu I pointed to earlier today.

Josselin/Debian GNOME people, would it be possible to backport the specific patch from upstream git for Lenny? This does make printing to an HP printer essentially unusable due to hal-cups-utils disabling the printer, and requiring admin privs to re-enable it. Previous mails in this bug contain references to Ubuntu bugs where upstream mentions the fix. Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
