[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
I'm using a Oki C5550 MFP which can print via USB in dapper for my printer and getting the same error for which I discuss with the https://printertechsupportnumbers.com/blog/how-to-fix-canon-printer- offline-error/ that help me more in solve this bugs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35638 Title: Printer is not detected properly over USB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/35638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also have problems similar to this, see bug #227342. I'm using a Oki C5550 MFP which can print via USB in dapper but not in hardy (and probably not in gutsy). This seams to be the same as in comment 106 in this thread.

George, that is the hal ID for your adapter cable.. that is what I put into the URI field for the "other" printer and it forced my HP4 to lock in..no problems dropping since.

Re: [Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
Hi. I'll try this off the launchpad bug forum since I'm not at all sure it will work for you and don't want to spread any nonsense further than required. I'm dracon on the launchpad and I was able to get past my cups problem bu "forcing" a printer ID. Here is what you might try. At least it's easy and worth a shot. Go to System/Administration/Printing> click the New Printer button to add a new printer...Don't mess with your normal set up just leave well enough alone there. When you get the available printers selection pane select "Other" and in the URI field put the exact ID of your cable (copy/paste). From your note that would be: hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4b8_5_M01P20511302159560_if0_printer_noserial Click forward and select the appropriate device driver for your printer, and continue to set the "new" printer up normally..new name and human description, but leave the default location alone. This should add a new printer presence named (Different-Name?) to your printer list. Try printing to that printer, make it default, see if it is able to reconnect. This worked for me with a legacy HP4 that cups found about 50% of the time..Now it doesn't fail and I can recover print jobs if the printer is unplugged and re plugged. If this works please let me know. Maybe we can point the Cups/Hal folks to a particular problem or give some bypass suggestionto the bug forum.

Before I read this thread, this was the problem: after a cold start, everything worked, but after suspend, the system thought the printer was "unplugged." Other USB devices, like a thumbdrive, would not work either. I have two USB ports, and either one would become nonfunctional after trying to talk to the printer.

[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
I'm suddenly having major issues with my USB-connected printer. I have a Sharp MP30 laptop (from 2005), Epson Stylus Photo R220 printer, and running Hardy 8.04 with all updates applied as of Apr 20. (As a user, not a developer, I don't know what the problem really is or whether this is the correct thread.) Before I read this thread, this was the problem: after a cold start, everything worked, but after suspend, the system thought the printer was "unplugged." Other USB devices, like a thumbdrive, would not work either. I have two USB ports, and either one would become nonfunctional after trying to talk to the printer. Restarting cupsys, restarting X, nothing worked. Only a complete shutdown and boot up made the USB ports available again. After I read this thread and tried some of the diagnostics after suspending, it turned out that $lsusb or $lpinfo -v somehow woke the port back up and it would print. So what's the deal?? Any command to poll the printer or usb reminds the system of something and everything works again?? Bizarre. I hope I'm not the only person with this problem and it's something that can get sorted out. I've been using Ubuntu since Dapper, and this is the first time anything like this has happened.

[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
dracon: The thing is, this bug is about has nothing to do with hal (if you read earlier comments like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/35638/comments/77 you will even see me saying the output of the hal backend is fine for me) or parallel -> usb cables. I don't doubt that the end result looks the same but the cause is different. Really it's about (Brother) printers with broken (built into the printer) USB implementations. CUPS only "recently" (around Gutsy era) gained a hal backend and I first filed this issue back in the Dapper days (which pre-dates the hal backend by at least a year). CUPS's USB backend has nothing to do with hal. I do not know what CUPS currently uses its hal backend for (perhaps to save on polling or announce the arrival of new printers to interested programs) but I believe in your case it is a red herring. The hal backend might well not be working for you but from what has been said I don't think this is your real problem (as the hal patches are apparently not even carried by upstream cups). If you REALLY want to talk to the developers of the hal cups backend you can try the project Utopia list ( http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/utopia-list ) but if you do that I'd make absolutely sure that the real problem is the CUPS hal backend and not something else. Personally I think you will learn more by filing a new bug on http://cups.org/login.php?PAGE=/str.php?U0+P0+S-2+C0+I0+E0+M10+Q and carefully (but concisely) explaining the issue you have and seeing what the response is even if it is "we won't spend more time on such cables or printers that use them". The fact that Windows works just suggests it identifies printers a different way (without depending entirely on deviceid strings). Maybe it ties up a port entirely but that discussion would be really better off in a separate bug report as any discussion here will only confuse people as to the purpose of this bug report (bugs.launchpad.net isn't suited to forum discussions). -- Printer is not detected properly over USB https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35638 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
Sure, but it's not a HP issue IMO. Several threads exist with this problem with various Printers from Brother as in this thread, to Epson, to HP...on the web in various Linux distros including more than this one for ubuntu. Does not appear to be printer manufacturer specific, but related to the adapter cable handling by hal. If I find a way to raise it as a hal bug in correctly handling the usb adapter cables, which is what it appears to be, I'll post that back here.

Thanks George. Appreciate your input. Still, it is the same hardware talking to the same other hardware whether Linux or W$ and it works every time with W$ the problem has to be SMOP. (Simple Matter Of Programming) ... not hardware. My understanding is hal senses the hardware and determines the device infois that not correct? (senses = probing the HW connections) DOesn't cuos use input from hal to build it's tables of available printers... If hal cannot find the printer (finds and IDs the cable ok) then cups has no chance to set the printer up. Don't really think the printer is "trying": to send anything until it's asked. If it is hal that is asking...and hal leaves before getting the HW answer back ...viola no printer. I still believe that hal leaves before the printer gets back to it after being polled... I have been wrong before though... Time for another beer. I'll let you know what I find.

Re: [Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
I see your problem, remember it is the printer talking to the computer, Hall has nothing to do with that. It's an old printer trying to connect to on a new(er) computer. There must a reason for the cups people to put time into that setup. If it happens great if not you will need to try another means, ie a network print server for any computer on that network. I HAD A R51 and have replaced it with a T61 just recently. Nobody uses printer ports now all are USB. The going backwards is the problem you need to solve.

[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
George, thanks. Since telling Windoze where the printer is was a one time deal, that isn't a problem on that side. Wish that could be done for Ubuntu. Parallel cables don't solve my problem of easily switching the printer off to my laptop either which has no Centronics port. Now to cups. I don't think this is really a cups problem but I don't yet really understand well the relationship between hal and cups. I'm under the impression that hal runs before cups. It seems that when hal has found and identified the devices' that exist (even if the identification is "unknown usb device") then cups is capable 1) of allowing driver to be assigned to that device/hal port and 2) follow that device if it is subsequently moved to another usb port between reboots. It's only when hal only finds the printer cable (Centronics parallel to usb cable device) and does not find a printer on the end of the cable (even a "unknown" printer) that cups does not present that printer for configuration in the "add Printer" options. That leads me to conclude that cups is ok but hal is not. Now I don't know what hal uses to get the hardware info but from what I've read hal is pretty low level stuff looking for signals on specific pins with certain timings...etc. Since hal has found the Cable device I expect that his timing is PDQ and he doesn't wait a long time for the end point (printer) of the cable to post a signalJust guessing here but if hal moves on to the next port before whatever device is on the end of that cable sends a "i'm here!", he will not even find a "unknown" device and assumes that no device exists. At that point cups can't find a printer to configure since hal tells him there is no device on the cable. Net: I believe this could be a simple timing fix in hal for a coder to cause hal to wait a millisecond or so for the device at the cable end to post if he finds a Parallel2usb "Printer" cable device on the port (he can tell the difference), (but not me! unless I get sufficently bugged to go back to school -lol- not likely) I don't think this is a cups problem...(is problem for me though) If it's hal this problem will be distribution independent across Linuxes and while the older HP laserjets may be "older" there are a bunch out there, and this has more to do with how hal is handling the Parallel Printer Cable device regardless of manufacturer..

Re: [Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
The problem is, HP Laserjets do NOT have the capability of sending the correct signal to cups via the usb connection. That is why M$ makes YOU pick the USB to start with. The HP Laserjets are so old and so few are still in use that why bother. The problem lies with the early HP Laserjets not having the capability to announce itself. Someone must pressure the Cups team to let the Linux user send to signal to the Laserjet, if you can get that done fine. I just don't think there is such a need in todays market to do it. I'm going to try Bluetooth, If that does not work will get a newer printer. There are switch boxes that you can get for Parallel Centronics cables to connect to more then one printer. I've seen some of them with 6 switches, just turn the switch to the printer. Good luck, It will be interesting to see if you can get the Cups to make the change at this late.

[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
Thanks, but I have the parallel port reserved and have used these printers several years on Windoze with this connectionneed to use them via the usb cables and it allows easy unplug and attach to my laptop. Also problem is obviously not electrical since Windoze correctly senses and accesses the printers. Also am beginning to think this problem is not a CUPs problem but a HAL problem. When the printers are shown available, hal has correctly found both. When the HP4 is dropped (can happen to the 890c but infrequently) hal only shows the cable but not the attached usb device. If hal finds the HP4 it is listed as an "unknown" device on usb 1, which still lets me configure it properly. On reboot, if hal finds the "unknown" printer (HP4) on another usb port, cups reroutes the pended print jobs to it (cups finds the printer "unknown" and uses the correct driver to print a pended document). hal-device-manager displays the parallel to usb cable correctly and printer as "unknown usb" when it finds it. When it does not find it, it displays the cable correctly but no "usb unknown". Suspect this could be a timing problem within hal, occasionally not receiving a signal back from the 'unknown' printer a startup within the expected time during device identification. Timing differences withing the devices themselves could account for the differences in how frequently they are dropped. Is there a way to slow the hal startup or cycle process, or re run hal after the system is stable to rebuild the tables ,or even force a device into hal's table?

[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
Have this identical problem but being a nube have no real clue how to address. >From above: "On my R51 connected to the Laserjet4 running WindowsXP, I had to tell Windows to use the USB port to find the Printer, it does that and works. That could be a way to fix it with Linux CUPS." I have same condition except: Windows 2K, processor self assembled (INTELD865PERL MB/1.5GB) LJ4 on Parallel to USB cable HP 890c Deskjet on same cable type. My Ubuntu system is Gutsy. (7.10) HP 890c never (well almost never) fails to identify and jobs will follow it if usb cable is moved to another usb port. HP LJ4 almost never identifies. W2k is rock solid on both printers using these cables so the cables must be passing device ids. Up to now Ive not found many things Windoze can do the Ubuntu could not. This appears to be one of those more noticeable problems. Sometimes a reboot will find the HP4 but usually not. Once found it can be added and functions until a reboot. Have never seen it drop once found until the system is rebooted. Then it will show in the installed printers list but will not print. If this is a bug that has been opened www.cups.org can you point me to the bug report and I'll follow it there.

Hi Till, here is the results: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 [sudo] password for gpw: Error: Input/output error: GET_DEVICE_ID on '/dev/usb/lp0' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ You are correct as I have always used a Parallel Cable with my LaserJet4. If I used a Bluetooth adapter to the Parallel port on the LaserJet, do you think that would work? This T61 is the first computer I have owned that did NOT have a parallel Port connection. I apologize for your trouble, I didn't mean to get you side tracked like that. Thanks for helping me. On my R51 connected to the Laserjet4 running WindowsXP, I had to tell Windows to use the USB port to find the Printer, it does that and works. That could be a way to fix it with Linux CUPS. Good luck on the Hardy release, really working great, had a little problem with the network manager "step stairs" Icon desipearing from the top panel. The network itself was fine just the Icon in the top panel. It's all fine now. I did have some early crashes with Tomboy but those are all fine now. Just loaded SongBird yesterday, slick program, a true Windows Killer and I might say OSX also... Thanks again...

Setting bug status to Confirmed (I seemingly can't select Triaged which is what it was previously) following Stanley's comment. Please note that it was me (the original reporter) who closed the bug invalid - not Ubuntu folks. My reasoning was that if I could not/did not want try every single request (different printer cable, parallel port, network port) from an Ubuntu dev to resolve the problem this bug was better off closed (if you review this bug you will find that I have already tested with two computers - an Athlon 850 desktop and a Thinkpad T60 laptop and both show the problem). ** Changed in: cupsys (Ubuntu Hardy) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- Printer is not detected properly over USB https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35638 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Whoa! I respectfully object that declaring this bug as invalid just to resolve it is not a responsible way to treat Ubuntu bugs. I am one of the other people who "really saw this problem" and reported it. I haven't been participating in this bug thread for quite a while because I got around the bug by using the parallel port instead of the buggy USB interface, but I've been watching and hoping for a bug fix. My printer is a Brother HL-1440. I have several. They all do the same thing. I recently bought a newer Brother model HL-5250. I've been too busy to install Hardy alphas since alpha-3, but when beta is released, I plan to install the beta and re-test all of the bugs I reported which are still unresolved, including this one. I recall seeing other bug reports which are almost duplicates of this bug, so I'm sure that other people had the problem and either gave up on Ubuntu or used a different printer or port. I see that a new Brother driver is targeted for inclusion in the beta release. That should be a good time to re-visit this bug. As the famous movie line from Arnold goes, "I'll be bock."

Till: I don't think I'm going to go as far as testing the parallel port - I think I've had enough. I've tested this bug in five Ubuntu releases (sometimes pre-releases). I've filed it upstream and had the bug closed ("The Brother USB implementation is full of bugs like this. Assuming that any fix is possible, it will have to come from the kernel folks" - Mike Sweet). I've tested experimental packages. Buying a parallel cable, checking the PC, or buying a network card interface isn't going to fix this.

Ben, but note that once, it is also not a problem of the printer setup tools, as already running /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb shows the problem, and second, gnome-cups-manager is not maintained any more and replaced by system-config-printer. So it can only be the kernel, CUPS, or the printer. Is anyone here with another printer having the same problem? Which model?

I have just tested with a Hardy Alpha and the usb backend problem is still there (output string changes/disappears/reappears over time, can be made to disappear on one terminal as mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/35638/comments/18 ). However lpinfo -v now shows a hal backend and the hal backend seems rock solid even when the usb backend is all over the place.

Yes.. same kernel on other laptop with xubuntu. I checked uname-r on xubuntu-laptop: Linux edwin-laptop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux it's the same... And cups versions are also the same. But i have to mention that a few days ago I was able to print a few things with the Ubuntu laptop. I don't know I had done it. But at a sudden it worked. Until reboot (i think). And I could not reproduce it. I have tried a LOT.. On the Xubuntu laptop is works good. Also after reboot. It's also possible to share the mfc7420 on the xubuntu laptop and than print on the ubuntu laptop using the shared printer on the other laptop... What config-files do I have to remove to make the CUPS inststall as if ubuntu was freshly installed ?

[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
Strange, that it works on Xubuntu, as for whether a printer is detected and listed by "lpinfo -v" should depend only on the kernel and CUPS and I assume that Ubuntu Gutsy and Xubuntu Gutsy should have the same kernel and the same CUPS.

Stanley, I have no parallel interface on my laptop. So that's not possible. I have to use the brother printer next week on a conference. Perhaps buying an usb-printer-server is an option..

Re: [Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
Edwin, I checked the Brother specs for MFC-7420. It has a parallel interface as well as the USB. Try the parallel. My Brother HL-1440 printer wouldn't work with USB interface, but it works well with the parallel. Until someone figures out the problem with USB and Brother printers, I suggest the parallel interface as a work-around.

On an other laptop running Xubuntu, the printer works fine! lpinfo -v gives both a 'direct hal' line as a 'direct usb' line for the printer. Is this a bug?

[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
For me it makes the impression now that the /etc/sysfs.conf workaround helps and should perhaps be supplied at least to make Gutsy working before a better fix appears after release. Sitsofe, can you test this approach even if it does not seem to be the solution for you? The kernel change of bug 85488 excludes only non-hub devices from autosuspend, the /etc/sysfs.conf perhaps also the internal hub in your system, which could change the behavior. -- Printer is not detected properly over USB https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35638 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 35638] Re: Printer is not detected properly over USB
I can confirm that my printer works now; if it is because of the autosuspend disabling or not, I can't say. Since it took me few tries, I thought I was maybe just lucky to get the printer in an "up" period.

Another possibility worth to try here.
