Indeed, # lpadmin -p <queue> -o usb-no-reattach-default=true 
seems to fix the problem. Apologies for not trying this earlier.

Also # lpadmin -p HL-1250-series -o usb-no-reattach-default=true 
seems to fix the bug as well. At least in the few tests conducted thus far.

Tested on up to date debian testing, cups version 1.7.5-5.

Does this bug need a reassign to cups?

# lsusb  -s 001:005

The verbose version of # lsusb -v -s 001:005
