Title:
Parallel printer over USB "usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd udev-
configure-"
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I am trying to connect my parallel port printer (a Brother HL-1450
mono laser) to my new computer, which has no parallel port. I have
bought a Dynamode Usb To Parallel Printer Cable Box 36pin
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000PIX8XS) and am so far unable
to make my printer work.
I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed, and have also tried running Ubuntu
10.04 on a VM, and sharing the USB device with the VM, and had no
success that way either.
When I click Add Printer in the CUPS web UI I don't see my printer
listed. Under "Local Printers:" I just see "HP Printer (HPLIP)" and
"HP Fax (HPLIP)".

I enabled the -proposed repository yesterday (2012-01-29) and updated,
having seen comments by Till Kamppeter about various fixes to related-
looking bugs. Before that I tried enabling Till's ppa. Neither of
these seemed to fix the problem I was seeing. In both cases I
rebooted to ensure I was running the right kernel etc.
I have also tried modprobe -i usblp and then adding
parallel:/dev/usblp0 in the CUPS web UI, and this didn't work either.
When I plug in the USB cable connected to the printer (which is
switched on) I get messages like this in dmesg:
[72762.014344] usb 2-1.2: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd udev-
configure- rqt 161 rq 0 len 1024 ret -110
Please let me know if I can supply any other helpful information or if
I missed something. Thanks for your help.
ubuntu-bug cups won't work for me - I guess because I am using a
package from -proposed? It says: "The problem cannot be reported:
This is not a genuine Ubuntu package".
Here are the details asked for on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems. I have followed
the USB printer instructions - please let me know if I should follow
the parallel port version because this is a parallel printer plugged
in via USB.
