I can reproduce the problem now, but not with print queue which got created by hal-cups-utils or system-confiog-printer.
I have the HP PhotoSmart C8100: t...@till-laptop:~/ghostscript/gpl/testfiles$ /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb 2>/dev/null direct usb://HP/Photosmart%20C8100%20series?serial=MY7B5F70P704YH&interface=1 "HP Photosmart C8100 series" "HP Photosmart C8100 series" "MFG:HP;MDL:Photosmart C8100 series;CMD:MLC,PCL,PML,DW-PCL,DESKJET,DYN;1284.4DL:4d,4e,1;CLS:PRINTER;DES:L2526;SN:MY7B5F70P704YH;S:038088C4840010210078cb0000041b8001b46b8002b47b8006444b8006448b8005a45b80038;Z:0102,05000009016a81013241013241013241013241013241,0600,070000000000000000000000000000,0b000000000000000097ce97e9000097e99804000097ea981a000097e89812000097e99811000097e99809,0c0;" "" Now I do not take the device URI reported by the backend in discovery mode (no arguments) but intendedly mistype it when creating a queue (in the example I clone the PPD file from my auto-created working queue for the printer): t...@till-laptop:~/ghostscript/gpl/testfiles$ lpadmin -p test -v usb://HP/Photosmart_C8100_series?serial=MY7B5F70P704YH -E -P /etc/cups/ppd/Photosmart_C8100_series.ppd lpadmin exits without errors (it should give an error for the invalid URI) and creates the queue. If I print into this queue I get exactly the behavior as reported here. This gives me the impression that hal-cups-utils "mistypes" USB URIs in certain cases. So, Steve Beattie, to see whether the problem is really as you and me assumed, please post the printer URI which you get by Plug'n'Print and which does not work and the URI which you get for a queue created with system-config-printer via the "New" button. Use system-config-printer or "lpstat -v" to display the URIs of your print queues. ** Package changed: cups (Ubuntu Jaunty) => hal-cups-utils (Ubuntu Jaunty) -- 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
