I'm seeing this issue too, on a completely up-to-date Karmic. I'm using an Epson Stylus Photo R1800 Usually I get messages like [Job 23] Unable to write 8192 bytes to printer! ,or sometimes the job is accepted but then nothing happens at all, not even a message in the Cups error log. The printer's LED flashes though, which indicates it is receiving something from the computer, but I left it alone for 2 hours last night and it still hadn't managed to even begin printing a 150k test page. Sometimes if I look at the printer's status it says 'Idle..Processing Page 2' or 'Paused.. Processing Page 2'. Since I'm only trying to print a 1 page document I think this is the clue, but I don't know where to look. I have not been able to print at all since I upgraded to Karmic and Cups 1.4. Previously I was using a Mandriva system with Cups 1.3 (same hardware) and the printer worked perfectly every time. -- cups fails on usb-parallel printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 427653] Re: cups fails on usb-parallel printer
re Daniel's comments: Under Intrepid my machine used to get the same message from lsusb...it listed the Prolific... string as you indicated. When I upgraded to Karmic that disappeared. There is no listing identifying the Prolific chip specifically like this at all. As I understand it this ID would be downstream of the print driver, making the choice of driver irrelevant until cleared. Under Intrepid recognition of the printer wasn't reliable. I sometimes had to reboot, or unplug / replug the usb connection or turn the printer off and back on to get the computer to realize it was there. Push the threshold a bit and you get the behaviour I'm seeing now. I wouldn't think this would be a software problem, but the effort on Karmic involved speeding it up. That could have introduced faster timing for handshaking, and the older Prolific chips became marginal or simply too slow. A guess. The following should be taken as coming from someone who has used computers for a long time, but is not familiar with CUPS at the detail level involved here: re the failure after one print: this is a wild shot on my part, but I just had a similar problem with Open Office spreadsheet. It was resolved by removing the old configuration directory (which apparently contained a corrupted file) and letting OO generate a new one. Is it possible there is a similar problem in, say, a spool directory for you? By way of possible clues: does the lockup clear if you turn the printer off and restart it? If so that suggests a handshake signal isn't making it through or is not being processed to clear the print status. I've had this happen, for example, if an end-of-page isn't sent to the printer when the job is complete. The computer thinks the job is done, but the printer is waiting for the Tha's All Folks signal to tidy up. Adding the EOP automatically is usually set as an option in the printer (driver) config, sometimes in an editor config. re Geoff's comment: having trouble with networked printers, in the context of the flaky Prolific recognition, suggests the hardware recognition problem may be more generic than just the Prolific chip. Whatever it is something changed in the jump from Intrepid to karmic in this area. the fault is persistent and reproducible. Hope this is helpful, and not ridiculous in context.

Perhaps there is more than one bug, not only the usblp problem. I have upgraded my laptop to karmic, and my desktop is still running jaunty. Before the upgrade, I could print from the laptop to the printer attached to the desktop via either IPP or Samba. After the upgrade, when trying to print anything, even the test page, I get the same error message in the CUPS error log file: Returning IPP client-error- document-format-not-supported for Print-Job. I get the same problem whether I connect to the remote printer via IPP or via Samba. -- cups fails on usb-parallel printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 427653] Re: cups fails on usb-parallel printer
Newbie to launchpad...Alan I'm having the same problem. The printer ran under 9.04, but was a bit flaky and had to be teased sometimes. When I installed 9.10 final beta the printer quit. I think the problem is related to the PL-2305 not being recognized, as the command lsusb no longer lists it. I can reboot or unplug/replug and the result is the same. I tried the sudo rmmod usblp as suggested. It returned this message ERROR: Module usblp does not exist in /proc/modules Hope this helps.

[Bug 427653] Re: cups fails on usb-parallel printer
I don't think these are the same bug, but I agree that Cups has become more flaky. In my current Karmic installation, lsusb detects the PL-2305 correctly as: Bus 001 Device 007: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port My problem is that the printer connected to the PL-2305 always works for the first print job after a reboot of the computer, but always fails for all subsequent print jobs, with the CUPS administration page log saying: HP_LaserJet_6L-96 Test Page anonymous 1k Unknown completed at Fri 30 Oct 2009 04:05:53 PM EST Unable to write 8192 bytes to printer!
