I updated CUPS and I cannot print to my USB laser printer. The web

Doing a `dmesg | grep ulpt0`, I get

The printer itself works (I plugged it directly into my MacBook
and it
printed fine). To ensure it wasn't an awkward build error, I issued a
`portupgrade -fR cups`
and rebuilt it and everything it is dependent upon. Does anyone
else have
any ideas? I am running an early 6.1-STABLE (FreeBSD dell.home.iq
6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sat May 13 01:04:32 EDT 2006
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IQKERNEL i386).
Just a "me too" so far with an el cheapo Lexmark USB laser printer
(E210).
Are you using the foomatic script? I am, with a PPD from
linuxprinting.org.
I am not sure, actually (it was so long ago, I do not remember how I
got it working). I installed hpijs and "Make and Model" mentions
Foomatic/hpijs, so perhaps. I am sorry I could not be of more
assistance with this question.
I'm going to try backing up and blowing away my etc/cups dir, re-
updating
the port, reinstalling foomatic and my ppd, and see if that makes any
difference. I'll post whatever I learn.
Thank you for posting your findings and for your quick reply.
No luck. I basically re-installed everything (including config files and
the foomatic filters) from scratch. I also changed the permissions
on /dev/ulpt0 to be 0664 for root:cups. That prevents the permissions
error, but I still get nothing from the printer. The message that
comes up
in the cups web interface when I try to print a test page is:
"/usr/local/libexec/cups/backend/usb failed"
I did get my other printer (on a different machine) working with cups
1.2.0
by just changing the permissions on the device node. I hadn't ever
set this
printer up with cups before today, though. It's using gutenprint.
After playing with the permissions on ulpt, I can print a test page,
though
half of it comes out after I manually feed my printer.
After that half-printed page, anything I try to print after will get
me a "USB
port busy; will retry in 30 seconds..." message and it never prints.
My system essentially does the same thing (the 30 second message that
is). After changing my LogLevel and killing and resubmitting a test
page, here is my error_log file. Does anyone else have any idea what I
can try next? Everyone on this list has been wonderful with this thread.
Thanks again.
I'm not seeing any errors in the log - assuming that the section that
contains the job you mention starts at 19:29:47 on Jun 27th. I see job 9
start and I see job 9 canceled but I don't see any errors in between.
A completely random thing: have you tried using /dev/unltp0 instead of
/dev/ulpt0? It shows up as "USB Printer # (no reset)" in the cups web
interface on my system.
HTH,
Micah
