After having all this information it is for sure not a problem of foomatic-filters or the driver (PostScript-to-PCL filter). It seems to be a problem o9n the communication between the PC and the printer via USB.
Canididates for packages in which there is the bug are the USB backand of CUPS and the kernel. Therefore I reassigned the bug to the appropriate packages. To find out more do the follwing: Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf adding a line "FileDevice Yes". Then restart CUPS with "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart". After that modify your print queue using the command: Run sudo usb_printerid /dev/usblp0 sudo usb_printerid /dev/usblp1 ... until you find your printer and post the output here. sudo lpadmin -p <your printer> -E -v file:/dev/usblp0 (replace the /dev/usblp0 by the device file name where you have found your printer with the previous commands). Are you able to print now without delay? -- Printing test page (150K) not started after ten minutes https://launchpad.net/bugs/96709 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
