Hi, I have an HP DeskJet 895Cxi printer. When I have the USB filesystem mounted, it causes my printer to do weird things. If it actually prints a whole page, there will be artifacts on the page (random lines, sometimes non-alphanumeric characters, etc). If it doesn't print a whole page, it will usually start to print a page, then eject that page, load the next page and scroll down to where it left off and print some more. Sometimes it'll go onto a third page. The offset from the top is correct for each part of the printed page, which seems very weird to me.
Without the USB filesystem mounted, I don't get artifacts, documents print fine, etc. Is there any real advantage to using the USB filesystem (is it even worth trying to fix)? All I've used it for in the past is usbview to show what devices I have, but beyond that everything else (PDAs, keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.) seems to work just fine without it. Here's info about my system: Mandrake 9.2 Most of the printing packages from 9.1 (although I'm using the 9.1 packages because I wanted to see if the new Mandrake 9.2 packages were at fault) - problems with both 9.1 and 9.2 packages. hotplug 2002_04_01 initscripts 7.06-32mdk hpijs 1.3.1 (although I've tried the 1.4 and 1.5 series, and all failed) Currently running kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk, but have tried 2.4.22 Mandrake kernels, 2.4.22 vanilla kernel, and a few others, and all have the same problem. Does anyone have any idea why the USB filesystem might be causing this to happen to my printer? I've spent a few months trying to figure this out, and it was only tonight that I realized that the filesystem was the cause. Thanks. Nathan Owens __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
