Be happy ! I spent quite a week, until I solved all my issues. Some extracts from the web: ArchLinux, Oct. 2009: FS#15998 - [cups] 1.4-1 - USB printers do not work + Print Processs Hangs In the cups 1.4-1 package there are two issues: 1) USB printers are not detected by default 2) You can only print one job, before the USB process hangs Ubuntu-Bugs, Aug. 2009 usblp Kernel module needs to be removed and /dev/bus/usb/*/* made accessible for USB printers to work with CUPS 1.4.x ArchLinux,Jan. 2010 I'll sum up what worked for me to perhaps make it a little easier for future printer-fighters. I skirmished an Epson Stylus SX100. - installing cups, hal-cups-utils, ghostscript, gsfonts and gutenprint, - adding cups to rc.d, - blacklisting usblp - adding a rule for udev It seems, according to the comments, that not all issues have been solved up to now. Also, not everyone is affected in similar way. But one thing seems to be always necessary: to disable usblp. Nevertheless: I am not the expert, I just wanted to point to a possible "headache" Edgar -- Dr.-Ing.
