hp laserjet 1200 repeated printer-state-message="/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" usb



Hi,

I have a Hp laserjet printer connected through a usb backend. I am plagued by repeated
episodes of failure of the printer to print. It works for a while and then it
spontaneously stops working. I reinstall the driver via the localhost:631 interface
and it prints and a day later it stops working.

D [14/Mar/2010:11:29:05 -0400] [Job 2806] Printer stopped due to backend errors; please consult the error_log file for details.

strange I am using the recommended Postscript en driver and what is this about Kyocera?
