[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#545288: Bug fixed after reinstallation

[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

I got the following error each 10 seconds in my syslog with Debian Sid:

   usb 1-6: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usbfs while 'usb' sets config #1

I read that the issue was introduced by cups 1.4. I tried to downgrade to 1.3: 
the usbfs issue was fixed, but the printer didn't work. So I reinstalled cups 
1.4, but I did something wrong because even printing a test page displays a 
"unknown format" error... (and /var/log/cups/error_log contains strange 
errors)

I removed completly most cups packages (especially the server, and some liband 
/etc/cups/*, and reinstalled the last version cups. My printer works again 
now!

I don't think that the problem is related to the kernel module (because I 
think that usblp wasn't loaded, but I'm not sure), but maybe related to cups 
configuration (/etc/cups/*).

During the upgrade, cups 1.3 => 1.4, I choosed to keep my configuration. It 
was maybe my mistake.
