Exact same problem for me, only its a usb photosmart 7260 printer. It detected fine when I first plugged it in, test page fine, then later on I tried to print from firefox, and it didn't print. So I went to do a test page again and it didn't work. I tried to push the power button on the printer and it wouldn't power off, only unplugging the power would allot it to power off. So I unplugged it, and replugged it, still didn't work.
Only until I unplugged the USB cord, unplugged the power, then replugged power, then replugged the USB port did the printer start working again. This time it redetected as a second printer named "photosmart_7200_series~" (with the ~ at the end). Now this printer works for me, but I have to pull power and USB every now and then when the printer quits working for me, then replug it all again. It typically will print about 2-3 pages until it locks up. Many times I get a "media jam" error, or "other" error in the printer queue icon in ubuntu. Sometimes no error at all. I can use this same printer plugged into an Xp and Vista machine with no errors whatsoever. Please let me know what I need to post to help troubleshoot this problem. -- hp photosmart 7450 communication problems. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241781 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
