Public bug reported: I updated an AMD64 box to karmic recently. There was always a HP Laserjet 5P running on that machine (worked until the update). It took me ages once to find out the correct device string (something like hal:/org/freedesktop/HAL/usb_no_serial_if0_serial (out of my head ..)), because the printer is connected via a usb2parallel adapter.
Following the Bugs regarding the move from hal to udev, I blacklisted usblp (which detected the printer somehow and created /dev/usblp0) as recommended. Afterwards neither lsusb nor lpinfo and all those tools detected the printer or the parallel/usb adapter anymore. Now I once for testing loaded the usblp module again ang get these in kern.log: [17980.160144] usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 [17980.164615] usb[5266]: segfault at 7fff82f30000 ip 00007f4f1b94fb54 sp 00007fff82f2c178 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7f4f1b8cd000+166000] [18020.080092] usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 [18020.084957] usb[5287]: segfault at 7fff374d4000 ip 00007f2a261b0b14 sp 00007fff374d1a28 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7f2a2612e000+166000] [18022.400169] usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 [18022.404968] usb[5290]: segfault at 7fff76ae3000 ip 00007f8029decb54 sp 00007fff76ae00f8 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7f8029d6a000+166000] [18797.620766] usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 [18797.625678] usb[6044]: segfault at 7fff7da28000 ip 00007f2c50828b54 sp 00007fff7da25a58 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7f2c507a6000+166000] Any idea to how to get that printer running again without hal backend? ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Karmic: Cups + usblp + segfault in libc-2.10.1.so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461020 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
