Bug Description
On a clone desktop running 21.04-latest which has the following LAN printer connected to it:
$ lpstat -p 130 ↵
printer _xeroxofficetq1_ is idle. enabled since Mon 06 Sep 2021 01:33:46 PM
printer C405 is idle. enabled since Mon 06 Sep 2021 01:33:46 PM
printer Xerox-CommonXCPT is idle. enabled since Wed 21 Jul 2021 09:58:10 AM
$
If/when my system is up and I power off the printer, leave it off for a few hours, replug the printer back, wait for it to boot and then print using that same system's firefox, it will not work.
But if I open Libre Office Writer and print: then it shall print.
Immediately after, going back to the firefox window and re-printing what has originally failed now prints too!
Here is what /var/log/cups/ had to say (This happened around 5 minutes ago):
$ cat access_log

_xeroxofficetq1_ lp 1120 [06/Sep/
C405 dd 1121 [06/Sep/
_xeroxofficetq1_ lp 1122 [06/Sep/

Rewinding back to the previous LOG, THIS is the entry that never went through and gave my printer an error:
_xeroxofficetq1_ lp 1116 [06/Sep/
C405 dd 1117 [06/Sep/
While this is the blank print test I did off Writer which worked:
_xeroxofficetq1_ lp 1118 [06/Sep/
C405 dd 1119 [06/Sep/
While finally having retried printing the original document and... it worked!
_xeroxofficetq1_ lp 1120 [06/Sep/
C405 dd 1121 [06/Sep/
Thank you,

Today I tried something new:
1st print attempt w/ firefox = same print error on printer
2nd print attempt w/ firefox = it printed out properly.
Using LOW to make it work was just a coincidence.
