Hi! I got him good this time :) Attached is the error_log with the following:
near the end of it should be logged the following: I've printed a test job - successful. Then I had three failed print jobs consecutively. Then I unplugged the USB and replugged. Then I printed the same document successfully*. This behavior is consistent, as I described. After the unplug and replug I have successful print jobs. After a while of inactivity, they fail. Perhaps they would fail also after a while *with* activity but I've not the intention to try that, as it might require too much paper and toner. Oh, and about /var/log/messages, my system doesn't have that file. Should it? *When I say the same document I meant that it is not actually the same file but it should be quite similar because it is a printing of a web page in Firefox. All of the three failed attempts are this same page and the following successful one, after the unplug&replug is this same page, too. ** Attachment added: "error_log of failed attempts at debug level" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1045718/+attachment/3310562/+files/error_log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045718 Title: [Xerox Phaser 3155] Requires USB unplug & replug every few minutes Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My printer requires me to unplug and replug it into the system once in a short while.
