Re: Trouble with USB printer

I had the same problem in Debian and Ubuntu with an HP LaserJet 1020. I used
the drivers and method from this site to get printing working:

Hi Chris,

I think you may try to print some document into file, normally .ps
file. If it processes like a real printing job, I mean the printer
also can not work, please check your printer's status: localhost:631.
The printer may already stop - note the second button in CUP console.
What you need is just starting the printer again.


Hi, Keija,

No, that is not the problem. The printer is detected, and shows up
with lsusb and when I connect to localhost:631. The start and stop
buttons in the cups page return with no error indication, and jobs show
up there when I submit them, but the printer does not respond at all.
I can print to files or to a remote network printer.

Hi,

I have a USB printer, HP laserjet 1600. I'm using lenny, with
cups and the hpijs driver installed. The printer used to work,
although it would sometimes stop due to an error. Restarting the
printer usually got it working again. Recently, probably after an
upgrade, it stopped working altogether. The printer is still
detected, and if I print to it, the job is listed in kjobviewer,
and shows up if I connect to the cups server (localhost:631), but
the printer does not do anything, and the menu panel states
"Ready". I can still print to a remote printer, so I suspect it is
a problem with the USB system, not cups itself. Does anyone have a
clue as to what could be wrong, or how I would go about debugging
this?
