After any print, the printer becomes unresponsive

[lotar1954]

In my Python application, my printer Excelvan HOP-E58 (and other models) becomes unresponsive for about 3-5 seconds after printing something.

In other words, after the print is done, if I try to print something else, I need to wait for those 3-5 seconds before being able to reprint again.

I tried with the following and in both cases, the printer becomes unresponsive afterward.

os.system("lpr -o job-priority=100 -o fit-to-page -o orientation-requested=3 -o media=Custom.58x210mm logo.png")

os.system("lpr -o job-priority=100 -o fit-to-page -o orientation-requested=3 -o media=Custom.58x210mm output.txt")

Is this a normal behavior or is this a bug?
If this is indeed a bug, is there a way to fix it or is there a temporary workaround?

I love these drivers but at the same time, I really need to be able to print my reports right away without me waiting for the printer to become available again (3-5 seconds) between each print.

To reproduce the issue, just print anything and after the print is done, reprint something again right away.

May be a bug.
I am not yet right now looking at the code, but I remember that in one of the issues smbdy mentioned some small fixes. See #5 for example.

The driver that you suggested me to try, is actually much worse. Beside not fixing the unresponsiveness of the printer, it also prints jibberish when I execute the following command.

os.system("lpr -o job-priority=100 -o fit-to-page -o orientation-requested=3 -o media=Custom.58x210mm output.txt")

Please let me know if there are any updates regarding this issue.

I have changes something, but since I've never hit with your problem, I don't know if it helps or not.
However you may try.
(and note, not just filter, but also PPD changed, so need to reinstall both!)
