Hello All,

I've got an HP laserjet 2300 which is plugged into the usb port on my RHEL5 server so it shows up as

   DeviceURI hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_2300_series?serial=CNCFF60878

in /etc/cups/printers.conf. It refuses to print though. The cups status page always shows "open print channel failed; will retry in 30 seconds..." unless I disconnect the printer in which case it shows that it's not connected.

I can't see anything vaguely relevant the cups log files, I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting, I've tried power cycling the printer, I've rebooted the server and nothing makes any difference except that I can get the printer to admit it's not connected (googling seemed to suggest that power cycling the printer would do the trick, but all I found apart from that was sympathy for the problem).

Has anyone else seen something like this and, more to the point, does anyone know how to fix it?

jch
