For me it seems that the USB CUPS backend has problems to communicate with the printer.
Do cancel -a cupsctl LogLevel=debug The print another job and wait for the job getting into "Stopped" state or to disappear. This can take several minutes, as probably the USB backend of CUPS waits for a response from the printer and times out sooner or later. Then extract the error_log sudo cp /var/log/cups/error_log ~ sudo chmod 777 ~/error_log and attach it ~/error_log to this bug report. Please execute "lsusb -vvv" and "ls -l /dev/bus/usb/*/*" as soon as the job is stuck and another time when it has gone into "Stopped" state or disappeared from the queue. You can try a workaround as follows: Run sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 and see whether the output contains your printer's model name. If so, do cupsctl FileDevice=yes lpadmin -p <name of your print queue> -E -v file:/dev/usb/lp0 If not, try the same with /dev/usb/lp1, /dev/usb/lp2, ... Now try to print. Does it work? Note that this is only a workaround and only works reliably if you have only one USB printer connected to your machine. -- Printer (HWModel Name) May Not Be Connected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
