Title:
Canon inkjets (and some other printers) print only half of the last
page after 20120801 upgrade to v1.5.3-0ubuntu2
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in cups source package in Precise:
Fix Released
Bug description:
My Canon i560 was working fine until the update two days ago. Now it fails
every single job, printing half a page and then ejecting the page when a USB
reset is issued. Same printer works fine when printing through Windows in
Virtualbox with USB passthrough.
Summary: the USB backend "improvements" have rendered my printer useless with
CUPS. Unloading the usblp module makes no difference - the USB reset is what
aborts the print job.

[IMPACT]
Everyone with a Canon inkjet connected to USB and also users of some
other printer models on USB get printouts with the last page being
incomplete. This happens for every job.
For everyone with a Samsung printer the problem of bug 995111 shows up
again.
[TESTCASE]
Unfortunately, for reproducing this bug one needs the actual hardware.
Connect a Canon inkjet (or other models mentioned in this bug report)
to the USB and print from a completely updated Precise system. The
last page of each job will come out incomplete.
Connect a Samsung printer to the USB and print from a completely
updated Precise system. You will get printouts with weird characters
(at least from the second job on) as described in bug 995111.
After installing the proposed package all these problems should
disappear.
[Regression Potential]
Regression risk is very low. The fix is not doing the USB device reset
on the printer after the job for most printers. The fix contains an
exception rule for Samsung printers and Prolific Technology
USB->Parallel adapters, to avoid reoccurring of bug 987485 and bug
997040. It is still possible that some printers are treated
incorrectly in terms of whether they need a reset after the job or
not. As most printers work both with and without reset this risk is
very low. All reported problems are solved with the proposed fix.
