[Bug 910272] Re: USB->Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS "usb" backend cannot cope with it
Same problem for me. I have an old parallel-only printer. It has been working with a dedicated printer server, but the printer server died and the PC has no parallel port. So I connected a USB-to-LPT cable. As I attach the cable /var/log/syslog shows: parport0: fix this legacy no-device port driver! lp0: using parport0 (polling) There does not exist a /dev/usb/lp0. I still set "DeviceURI parallel:/dev/usb/lp0" since that is what the instructions still say (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#USB_-.3E_Parallel_adapter), and indeed that fails. I also tried "DeviceURI parallel:/dev/parport0" and CUPS rejected it. Then I tried "DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0". CUPS accepted it, I sent a test print, and it just sits on the job queue with the msg "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds". # usb_printerid /dev/lp0 Error: Invalid argument: GET_DEVICE_ID on '/dev/lp0' # usb_printerid /dev/parport0 Error: Invalid argument: GET_DEVICE_ID on '/dev/parport0' At another moment, I got a different error: # usb_printerid /dev/lp0 Error: Device or resource busy: can't open '/dev/lp0' This is on Bionic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272 Title: USB->Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS "usb" backend cannot cope with it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/910272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 910272] Re: USB-Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS usb backend cannot cope with it
Having very similar issues to carlossl. Running Ubuntu 13.04, an EPSON LQ-1070+ (running the LQ-570+ drivers, which work fine) and a QinHeng Electronics CH340S USB to parallel connector. On a 12.04 machine I could use the printer with the regular parellel cable. The only real difference is that I have no /dev/usb/. If necessary I can upload all the output, but as mentioned before, very similar to the ones from carlossl. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272 Title: USB-Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS usb backend cannot cope with it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/910272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 910272] Re: USB-Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS usb backend cannot cope with it
Hello, First of all, thanks a lot for your efforts to improve the community. I just found this thread looking for a solution to a problematic ticket printer. It is the kind of printer that is detected as parallel but has a USB cable. Manufacturer: EC Liner Model: EC Printer EC-PM-5890X Here's the website of the manufacturer: http://www.ecline.com.mx/ It seems that the computer is not detecting the printer directly, but the parallel connector (QinHeng Electronics). Here's all the information you asked in the comments above.

The trick is the following: You must have ALL binary packages in ONE separate directory, neither an incomplete set of binary packages, nor packages of different versions in one directory. Go into the directory with the desired version and install all packages with ONE command line: sudo dpkg -i --force-depends *.deb Then the package should get installed and after the installation there will be no dependency mismatches any more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272 Title: USB-Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS usb backend cannot cope with it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/910272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 910272] Re: USB-Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS usb backend cannot cope with it
This looks like a strange special case, as now even the usblp kernel module does not recognize the printer any more. So we need a much more systematic investigation now. Perhaps we have a very bad interference of instabilities of the adapter, the kernel and libusb. Now I need all combinations of systems and CUPS versions. You have two systems (internal and external driver) and two CUPS versions (PPA and proposed). This gives four combinations. Please test all four combinations, running this set of commands, naturally with the printer powered on and connected: sudo rmmod usblp lsusb ls -l /dev/bus/usb/*/* ls -l /dev/usb/lp* sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb ldd /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb | grep usb lpinfo -v sudo modprobe usblp lsmod | grep usb ls -l /dev/usb/lp* for d in `ls -1 /dev/usb/lp*`; do sudo usb_printerid $d; done sudo rmmod usblp Post all the output (or attach as uncompressed text files). To do downgrades download all *.deb files of each package from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups and https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa/+packages into separate directories (one per version) and do sudo dpkg -i *.deb in the appropriate directory to install the desired version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272 Title: USB-Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS usb backend cannot cope with it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/910272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Clarification - There are three Ubuntu 11.10 systems involved in the testing. System A - (w8-FJ463AAR-ABA-a6528p); installed on an external hard drive; running on an HP6600 machine; first to be involved, and the only system to have the cups ppa version installed prior to the proposed version. System B - (w8u-iomega); installed on a second external hard drive; also running on the same HP6600 machine as System A. System C - (w8-Aspire-5000; a laptop); installed on the internal hard drive along with XP and Linux Mint. Testing 19Jan2012 1. System B (cups proposed installed); requested info collected in file named SysB_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt. 2. Attempted to revert System B to cups ppa version without success; documented in file 91072_SysB_Revert.txt. 3. System C (cups proposed installed); requested info collected in file named SysC_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt. 4. Attempted to revert System C without to cups ppa version success; documented in file 91072_SysC_Revert.txt. 5. System A (cups ppa version) printing tested; printed successfully. Requested info collected in file named SysA_cups1.5.0-8ub7_ppa.txt. Installed cups proposed version through Update Manager. Attempted to print test file without success. Requested info collected in file named SysA_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt. 6. Some screen shots collect along the way are attached. Comment - If I can determine how to get the ppa version installed on Systems B and C I will collect and submit the requested data. These installations are not currently involved in critical operations so can tolerate some abuse by a mostly novice. ** Attachment added: SysA_cups1.5.0-8ub7_ppa.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683576/+files/SysA_cups1.5.0-8ub7_ppa.txt ** Attachment added: SysA_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683577/+files/SysA_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt ** Attachment added: SysB_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683578/+files/SysB_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt ** Attachment added: SysC_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683579/+files/SysC_cups1.5.0-8ub7_prop.txt ** Attachment added: 91072_SysB_Revert.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683580/+files/91072_SysB_Revert.txt ** Attachment added: 91072_SysC_Revert.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683581/+files/91072_SysC_Revert.txt ** Attachment added: 19Jan12SysA125155.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683582/+files/19Jan12SysA125155.png ** Attachment added: 19Jan12SysA151837.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683583/+files/19Jan12SysA151837.png ** Attachment added: 19Jan12SysA152725.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683584/+files/19Jan12SysA152725.png ** Attachment added: 19Jan12SysB113155.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683585/+files/19Jan12SysB113155.png ** Attachment added: 19Jan12SysC132142.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272/+attachment/2683586/+files/19Jan12SysC132142.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272 Title: USB-Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS usb backend cannot cope with it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/910272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you very much for testing. I have done an additional small fix as the fix in my PPA still has a potential crash bug. The final fix I have applied to Oneiric's CUPS package now and uploaded the resulting package into the oneiric-proposed package repository to make it available as a Stable Release Update (SRU) for Oneiric. As soon as the package gets approved it will get available for testing. We will announce this and give instructions on how to install the package. Note that your testing is required to make the package an official update, so stay tuned. Note that you have to remove and re-create your print queue for testing as the device URI will change somewhat.

[Bug 910272] Re: USB-Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS usb backend cannot cope with it
I have uploaded a new version of the CUPS package (1.5.0-8ubuntu7~ppa2) to my PPA now. It will take some time to appear there. As soon as it arrives and got built by our build servers, update your system, and try again. After the update, remove any broken queues for your printer, and then with the printer turned on and connected to the parallel end of the adapter unplug the USB end from your computer and re-plug it. You will get a pop-up that your computer tries to create a print queue, probably also telling that the queue will be for an unknown printer. Perhaps even system-config-printer will pop up automatically for manual selection of your printer's make and model. Select it and do not simply overtake the Generic text-only printer default. If system-config-printer does not open by itself, start it manually (Gear at the upper right of the desktop and Printers in the menu), click the button to add a new printer, and from the autodetected printers choose the unknown printer. After that choose make and model manually and you should be able to print. Please tell here whether all works correctly.

[Bug 910272] Re: USB-Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS usb backend cannot cope with it
This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.5.0-14
---
cups (1.5.0-14) unstable; urgency=low
[ Till Kamppeter ]
* debian/patches/usb-backend-libusb-1.0.patch: Migrated the usb CUPS
backend to libusb 1.0.x, as libusb 0.1.x is deprecated and not maintained
upstream any more. Also make printers working independent of what gets
reported as their device ID, including random characters or nothing. This
should especially make all USB-Parallel adapters work (LP: #910272).
* debian/control: Build-depend on libusb-1.0-0-dev instead of on libusb-dev.
[ Martin Pitt ]
* debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/pdftoopvp/OPVPOutputDev.{h,cxx}: Drop
definition of drawLink(). It is not being used anywhere and uses the
Link class which is gone in poppler 0.18.
* Add debian/patches/ubuntu/poppler-0.18.patch: Port SplashFontEngine()
constructor call to poppler 0.18 API. Keep it as Ubuntu patch until Debian
gets poppler 0.18, too. (Closes: #645507)

nvsoar, note that the Fix Released is only for Ubuntu Precise (12.04). Please update your Oneiric system now to get my updated PPA package and test it. Depending on your result I will propose my fix for an official update for Oneiric. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272 Title: USB-Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS usb backend cannot cope with it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/910272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Depending on your result I will propose my fix for an official update for Oneiric. Well done Till. It took seven whole minutes to download and install; shorter than it took to print the test page. Manually opened printers window, selected /Model (default), next window selected the driver module, next Printer Properties settings looked correct and policies showed enabled; Print Test Page selected, Ubuntu test page printed successfully. Five gold stars! Images attached.
