Can you also do the following: In a terminal window, run the command
lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-unidir-default=true with <printer> being the name of your printer as displayed by the "lpstat -p" command. Now turn off and turn on your printer, then try to print several jobs. Does this solve the problem? If not, run lpadmin -p <printer> -R usb-unidir-default and then lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-no-reattach-default=true Again, turn off and turn on your printer, then try to print several jobs. Does this solve the problem? If not, try lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-no-reattach-default=true lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-unidir-default=true and turn off and turn on your printer, then try to print several jobs. Does this solve the problem? Please tell what works for you. If nothing works, reset all to defaults via lpadmin -p <printer> -R usb-no-reattach-default lpadmin -p <printer> -R usb-unidir-default -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045718 Title: [Xerox Phaser 3155] Requires USB unplug & replug every few minutes Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My printer requires me to unplug and replug it into the system once in a short while.
