I have an HP 1320 (only has USB and parallel support) hooked to a FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE box using a USB cable. I have configured /dev/ulpt0 into my /etc/printcap file. Everything works fine and I am happy with this setup except for one odd behaviour. The last page of a multi-page print job will "linger" - somewhere - while the green light on the HP continues to blink -- as if data were being sent to it. The lpq(1) command reports "no entries" when run, and then about a minute or two later, this "last page" gets printed. Is there some configuration that I am missing? Is this an artifact of the USB protocol? Is this the way the HP 1320 laser printer operates? Is this a feature (or bug) of the USB printer driver /dev/ulpt0 that is not documented? I've read the man pages and searched using Google to see if this is a known problem. Any suggestions will be gladly accepted. I can live with this behaviour, but it seems very odd.
