Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.7-4 Severity: important Tags: patch
Apparently I'm not the only one with this problem, as I found the following on the cups.org website: >>>>>>>>>>>>> Ok USB ID is usb://KONICA%20MINOLTA/magicolor%202400W The good news is that setting bc_flag=0 in backend/usb-unix.c DOES appear to fix the problem (don't know what happened before). In addition to the case issue, I think the detection logic in the code was not quite right. The existing code will always set use_bc=1 if the you don't have a "Canon". Here is my non-portable solution (strcasestr is not universally available): use_bc = strcasecmp(hostname, "Canon") != 0 && strcasestr(hostname, "Minolta") == NULL; Hope this can make it out to the masses - its great to again be able to print a page in less than 15 min ! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< My input is that I have been trying to print a page multiple times to my printer and have timed it as taking 28 minutes per page when I try to print the page from 1 to 9 copies. For 10 or more copies, it seems to be incapable of ever printing a page. This of course varies with the page I am trying to print. In this case, I have a two-page document that I wanted 100 copies of. Page 1 printed eventually. After taking more than an hour to start, the pages finally started printing fairly quickly. Page 2 was a different story. It takes a long time before the copy prints, then the above mentioned 28 minutes for subsequent copies. I gather the difference is with the amount of communication between the CUPS server and the printer. I'd love it if you could make the fix for AMD64 at least.
