Is this with *any* file, or just with *some* files? I describe a similar issue below, but not for any file. I am currently running a 2.6.4 kernel on the box with the HP 3330 (connected over usb), but I don't recall any differences with kernel 2.4.xx, and I am now running cupsys 1.1.20final+rc1-3 but I *think* the issue was the same with 1.1.20final. > "lpr file.ps" it prints fine and the queues are empty. If I run "lpr > file.ps" again the printer says "Printing Document" but nothing happens. Sounds similar to a problem I had/have. Mine would eventually print a timeout error from the PS engine in the printer (don't recall the exact message now--but it was suggestive of a stop in the data stream to the printer). I think I would also end up with a "gs" process hanging. It seemed to be a problem with gs processing the file, since if I grab the postscript file from the print queue and view it with gv it indicates errors processing it. Personally, I have found that the PPD file that came with the printer was the worst, seemed really slow to process a page in the printer and was prone to these processing errors. The one I currently use and seems pretty decent is the 3200m PPD from the Foomatic/gimpprint (foomatic-db package I think). (Although I think I still occasionally see one get stuck---usually someone printing some pages from a windows box, but that's probably not relevant) > > Any ideas?

For sometime now, mine has been working well enough that I haven't looked at it any more.
