Please do the following on Ubuntu 13.10: Do you have a file named
/usr/share/cups/usb/org.cups.usb-quirks Can you attach it? Can you follow the instructions of the section "USB printer does not print or prints garbage" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems? Please also try editing the line 0x067b 0x2305 no-reattach soft-reset unidir in /usr/share/cups/usb/org.cups.usb-quirks Do not change the "0x067b 0x2305" in the beginning, but try other combinations of issue workarounds as described in the initial comments of the file. If you are successful with a combination, please tell us. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1258919 Title: 067b:2305 printing issue with parallel-to-usb adapter Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have an old HP Deskjet 710C parallel printer. I really don't print a lot, so it ages well. I just replaced my former desktop with a new barebone without parallel port - no space to embed a PCI IEEE 1284 adapter. So I just bought a cable which is a parallel-to-usb adapter : it is a Sweex adapter, the kernel recognizes it as : Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port I configured cups to use this new adapter, with the same old pnm2ppa driver. When I try to print a test page from cups (or other printings) it goes well, until close to the end, when the printing suddenly stops, without the sheet being released : I have to power off the printer, which as a side effect triggers the sheet ejection before power off. I read various articles and forums on this topic before posting. Playing with usblp, kernel blacklists and /dev/usb/lp0 does not solve anything. I wanted to be sure that it was not the Prolific controller which was flawed. So I connected it to a windows 7 virtual machine into Virtualbox; Windows installed various drivers, and eventually various printings ran seamlessly - without my issue on GNU/Linux. So my conclusion is that the controller is ok. I also just tested mainline kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc3-trusty/linux- image-3.13.0-031300rc3-generic_3.13.0-031300rc3.201312061335_amd64.deb . No improvement, my test page stops being printed at the same spot close to the end. So I can assume that there is a bug in the controller's driver. Best regards R.
