After updating to xubuntu to 14.04 LTS from 12.04 LTS this is also occuring for (x)ubuntu with my Brother HL-2030 printer.

I've tried with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32 and 64 bit), xubuntu 12.04 LTS (32 and 64 bit) and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit as well as xubuntu 14.04 (32 bit and 64 bit). This problems occurs in all 14.04 Trusty versions.

After upgrading to Xubuntu 14.04 LTS from Xubuntu 12.04 LTS I can no longer print.
The only thing that comes out are infinite amount of blank papers and I have to pull the power plug to stop it.

I have my Brother HL-2030 printer connected to my router with USB cable and on the router I run OpenWRT with CUPS server.
I connect to the CUPS server on the router with IPP.

@Christopher M. Penalver, it still affects me on Ubuntu, why did you remove that reference?
