My printer does not work if turned off during boot up.

I have the hp psc 1210 printer. If start ny computer with the printer turned off I can not print anything. Although cups can "see" the printer. hp-toolbox can't access the printer. Starting up with my printer on it works fine.

It must be an udev issue. When I start my system with the printer off and turn it on later I have to run /etc/start_udev in order to make it work without rebooting. Any ideas?

It is on a fresh installed Arch system.

udevadm control --log_priority=debug (from "man udev")

Well it seems to be a known udev bug.
