Sometimes Gnome finds the printer connected to the USB port (/dev/lpUSB ???), sometimes it does not. If the connection is found, than the printer (Lexmark Optra T614) is mostly in sleep mode and for each print job I have to enable it several times. At the moment the printer is not detected at all and I have no printing capability. A solution someone?
