Thanks for suggestions. Please note that the printer is currently working fine under Ubuntu & kubuntu 11.04. There is no built in USB mass storage device on the Lexmark S301 the windows drivers were provided on a CD.
I have tried the apparmor suggestion : aa-complain /usr/sbin/cupsd This changes the "dmesg" output to the following: [ 374.476192] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd [ 374.616423] scsi4 : usb-storage 1-1:1.2 [ 374.879344] Did not find alt setting 1 for intf 0, config 1 [ 375.524480] generic-usb 0003:043D:0180.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Device [Lexmark S300-S400 Series] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-1/input3 [ 375.525921] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid [ 375.525932] usbhid: USB HID core driver [ 375.637381] scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access Lexmark USB Mass Storage 200 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 375.645617] sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [ 375.697275] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 376.004405] type=1400 audit(1319917518.332:21): apparmor="ALLOWED" operation="capable" parent=4717 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" pid=4720 comm="serial" capability=21 capname="sys_admin" [ 376.007692] usb 1-1: usbfs: interface 2 claimed by usb-storage while 'usb' sets config #1 The printer is still incorrectly detected as mass storage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872711 Title: Kernel does not report some USB printers correctly, making them not being detected by CUPS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/872711/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
