[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#480865: supported printer HP business inkjet 2230 unusable with hpijs/hplip

[Walter B. Rasmann]

Package: hpijs
Version: 2.8.2+2.8.2-1
Severity: important


Once the HP business inkjet 2230 is turned on it only can accept the
first print job. After finishing the first job it stops reacting /
freezes with a blinking led and the display message "PRINTING" and/or
"CANCELLING JOB" (where "READY" would be the normal state). It can
continue printing only after powering the printer off and on again. This
makes the printer completely unusable with hpijs.

The problem does not occur when printing from windows or using
"Gutenprint v5.0.2", which produces poor quality output. hpijs had 
worked some time ago, too. Unfortunately I can not tell when it broke...

Here are the settings I use:

Printer: HP2230_HPIJS

Description:
Location:
Printer Driver: HP Business Inkjet 2230 Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.2.10 -
HPLIP 2.8.2
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: parallel:/dev/lp0


Printer: HP2230 (Default Printer)

Description: HP2230
Location:
Printer Driver: HP Business Inkjet 2230 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: parallel:/dev/lp0


Any advice appreciated...

Thank you for your time.
