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.
