Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: important
Since upgrading to Cupsys 1.2.1, printing has become most unreliable.
I have a Brother HL-1430 attached via USB; this worked fine under Cupsys 1.1.x.
The printer goes to a low-power sleep mode if inactive for 5 minutes.
Under 1.2.x, if the printer is in sleep mode, attempts to print to it are met
with the Web interface message:
"/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb failed"
or:
"Unable to open USB device, queuing on next printer in class..."
And with LogLevel = Debug, the following final error message is repeated in
/var/log/cups/error_log:
>
>E [06/Jun/2006:02:44:19 +0100] PID 23207 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb) stopped
>with status 1!
>
(There's lots of other rubbish in there; this seems to be the most useful
message)
As a work-around, unplugging and replacing the USB cable causes everything to
wake up, in
particular I believe Hotplug comes to life and detects a new printer. CUPS will
then happily
flush the queue and/or print any new jobs that come along right up until the
idle timeout
kicks in again and the printer goes back to sleep.
So I deduce that something is failing to issue the appropriate kicks to wake up
the printer
in 1.2.1.
BTW I'm using the PPD from:
/usr/share/ppd/linuxprinting.org-gs/Brother/Brother-HL-1430-hl1250.ppd.gz
(Brother HL-1430 Foomatic/hl1250 (recommended))
And the device is connected on:
(usb://Brother/HL-1430%20series)

I did some test myself and I can't reproduce it using 1.4.x
As this bug report is quite old, I'm closing it.
Thanks,
Jean
