Title:
cups will not print to USB connected Samsung ML-4500 (with USB ->
Parallel adapter)
Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Status in “cups” source package in Precise:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have a working parallel laser printer: Samsung ML-4500. I have
connected this to my computer with a usb-to-parallel cable.
The cable is listed in as:
$ lsusb -s 005:005
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel
Port
Cups recognises the printer model and gnome correctly lists the
printer in system-config-printer. Any attempt to print to the printer,
however, results in the printer spinning up it's cooling fans and
heating the fusing lamp while the "data" led on the front flashes for
about 5minutes. In the cups admin screen the print job is listed as
"Sending data to printer." The printer eventually stops whirring and
shuts back down into standby with the Data led remaining static to
indicate that the printer is idle. At no point does the printer
actually begin, or finish, printing anything.
After plugging the usb cable dmesg reports:
[ 2952.148182] usb 5-3: new full-speed USB device number 5 using ohci_hcd
[ 2952.321367] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid
0x067B pid 0x2305
Upon attempting to print to the device dmesg reports:
[ 2964.457576] usblp0: removed
[ 2964.479420] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid
0x067B pid 0x2305
[ 2965.505493] usblp0: removed
[ 2965.537417] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid
0x067B pid 0x2305
[ 2969.733454] usblp0: removed
(The time period between these two dmesg output snippets shows a print
attempt directly after plugging the cable. The "usblp0: removed" does
not appear until the print spool is actively trying to print, and thus
is not a result of the hotplug event.)
Now that I have a job in the queue, cups admin screen reports that the
printer is in the following state:
ML-4500 Samsung ML-4500 daniel-MS-7693 Samsung ML-4500 Foomatic/gdi
(recommended) Processing - "Sending data to printer."
The printer is idle, however, and does not appear to be receiving any
communication since the initial attempt at printing the job (which is
also listed below):
ML-4500-3 Unknown Withheld 1k Unknown
processing since Mon 19 Mar 2012 20:05:15 GMT "Sending data to
printer."
The time is now 20:24, around twenty minutes since this particular
test job was started and still no sign of an output. Previous jobs I
have cancelled to clear the queue.
