[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#373899: me too

[Peter Köllner]

Hi!

My USB printer does not print under linux for several weeks now. I tried  
the latest package cupsys 1.2.4 today but still got nothing. As a side  
effect, for some unknown configuration quirk I have two printers installed  
now:

lpstat -a -v

hp:/usb/hp_color_LaserJet_2550_series?serial=00CNFDD05275
device for HPColorLaserJet2550L: usb:/dev/usb/lp0
device for PDF: cups-pdf:/

Funny thing is I don't have a /dev/usb directory anymore, only  
/dev/bus/usb... ?!? But other USB devices like keyboard and mouse are  
working fine.

In the admin console I see the following status lines:
	
hp_usb_hp_color_LaserJet_2550_series (Standarddrucker) "open print channel  
failed; will retry in 30 seconds..."
HPColorLaserJet2550L "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..."

The only workaround I found was saving the files to a FAT32 partition on  
an external HDD, rebooting to windows and printing there, which is very  
time-consuming.
