Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cupsys
(Till, I've discussed this bug with you briefly in the past)
When there is a problem with device permissions in the usb backend (and
potentially with other CUPS backends), such as bug 76077, this does not
result in any failure or error message. Jobs sit in the print queue in
job-printing state and stay there indefinitely. No error is logged in
CUPS error_log, syslog or displayed to the user at any time. The
backend can be seen running, but not doing much.
This seems needlessly complex to diagnose using strace on the backend.
It should simply fail and report an error to the user so that the
problem can be fixed.
** Affects: cupsys (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
