Results of trying it on live CD of earlier releases: 5.10 (Breezy) shows the printer as visible all the time and does not cycle between invisible & visible randomly on 'lpinfo -v' output. However, when I printed a test page, it was sent to the printer queue but not printed. State of the print job was "Pending: printer stopped". The printer was in its ready state on the printer itself. The printer properties says "Paused: unable to open USB device 'usb://Brother/HL-1440%20series': No such device." The printer does appear on the pull-down ports list in the properties window. When I select it there and go to the printer's window and activate "resume printing", the waiting document prints.
6.06 LTS (Dapper) starts with the printer visible in 'lpinfo -v' but it has the cycling problem -- randomly visible and invisible. The Add- Printer function doesn't detect the printer while it is invisible but does detect it when visible in lpinfo. However, even when detected, the add-printer doesn't actually add the printer after finishing the dialog. I tried 3 times. Remember, I have a Brother HL-1440 not HL-1050, but the problem seems to be shared by both of these printers on a USB port. -- Hl-1050 is not detected properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35638 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
