Hi Nils

I am glad I am not the only person with this problem. My printer is a 
Brother MFC-9120CN network printer. It plugs into the router not the 
computer.  I have found that I can ptint for a short time after I turn 
the printer off and back on from it's power switch.  I do this every 
time I want to print from Ubuntu.  I also have a Windows laptop that I 
use with the router. It works all the time.
My guess is that the printer has a power saving mode that partly shuts 
down Windows knows how to wake it up an print. Ubuntu sees the computer 
as switched off.  I do not have the skills to fix it.

Let me know how you get on.
All the best

Jeffrey Lee

Bug description:
  Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) Beta 2
  Release: 12.04 Beta 2

  The printer is a Lexmark X734de  printer connected over a wireless
  network that can be found, but will not print. The print job stays in
  the queue forever. Wireless Printer "Processing - Unable to locate
  printer."

  Network/Local Printers found but cannot print - Unable to get printer
  status and says it's "Processing".

  I'm shure we want avoid this for the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise
  Pangolin) release, when the final has been released. I'm using Ubuntu
  12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) Beta 2 with latest update as of today.
