Strange Problem With CUPS --- Delay in Printing Subsequent Pages
I have been having a strange problem since I installed CUPS in this incarnation of my Arch Linux computer. I had never had this problem with the installation on my old hard drive.
When I print anything, the printer prints the first page and just sits there. If I try to print it again, it immediately spits out the rest of the original job and sits there again. Some time later (~5 minutes) it goes on to print the second job sent. What could this be? I am pretty sure I am using the same driver that I was before. Should I try reinstalling the printer? Or is there some CUPS configuration error (I did nothing except configure it through the web interface)?
I am using hpijs driver for HP Laserjet 1320 from hplip, and the standard lp frontend to CUPS.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Strange Problem With CUPS --- Delay in Printing Subsequent Pages
Have you checked the /var/log/cups directory to see if the log files there give you any clue to what's happening?
Philosophy is looking for a black cat in a dark room. Metaphysics is looking for a black cat in a dark room that isn't there. Religion is looking for a black cat in a dark room that isn't there and shouting "I found it!". Science is looking for a black cat in a dark room with a flashlight.

Re: Strange Problem With CUPS --- Delay in Printing Subsequent Pages
I had this issue before I installed gutenprint and foomatic.
Really... even if I am using hplip would I be affected? As I recall foomatic is one of its dependencies. I did not however install gutenprint. I guess I'll try that out.
As for the logs, nothing seems pertinent. The page_log looks normal and the error.log errors are unrelated:

Re: Strange Problem With CUPS --- Delay in Printing Subsequent Pages
Sorry for bumping this, but I would really like to get the problem resolved... I don't suppose this can be a printer issue? Or maybe I should try reinstalling the printer or CUPS or something. This problem is quite annoying. Please add some advice.

Re: Strange Problem With CUPS --- Delay in Printing Subsequent Pages
Is there really no explanation for this behavior? 
EDIT:
Looks like there is a bug report on the CUPS website:
