I'm having the same issue with Ubuntu 11.10 and an Epson Stylus Photo R390.
The printer is on a NAS (ReadyNas Duo) on the local network, I was able to print to it under 11.04 but not with 11.10. Others are having similar problems when connecting to a printer locally via USB. Some have resolved the issue by upgrading to kernel 3.0.0.13. I've now upgraded the kernel but the problem still persists; After attempting to print the printer's status is shown in the printer's properties settings tab as "Processing - Unable to get printer status.". I am able to print from non-Ubuntu machines to the printer connected to the NAS, so the issues is not with the NAS or printer. If there are any logs that you require or data that I can capture to help identify this issue, please let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883585 Title: Kubuntu 11.10 -- Printers found but cannot print To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/883585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
