Bug#697970: cups: printing gets wrong after some pages on Epson Stylus Photo 750
Hi OdyX Le 15/02/2013 09:14, Didier 'OdyX' Raboud a écrit : Control: reopen -1 Control: found -1 1.6.1-2 Le vendredi, 15 février 2013 08.53:10, Denis Prost a écrit : I was just facing the problem when you wrote to me ! I don't know why it appeared again, maybe the lpadmin settings above where lost for some reason. Anyway it let me try the new experimental cups release and notice that it did not solve the problem. I reapplied the lpadmin commands above and the problem was gone. Re-opening this bug then. Damn… Cheers, OdyX I faced the problem again today with the experimental package and, this time, reapplying : lpadmin -p Epson_Stylus_Photo_750 -R usb-unidir-default lpadmin -p Epson_Stylus_Photo_750 -o usb-no-reattach-default=true did not solve it. So I tried lpadmin -p Epson_Stylus_Photo_750 -R usb-no-reattach-default and it worked ! But this behaviour is so strange that I'm not sure the problem won't reappear. So I suggest to keep the bug open and I'll let you know if it appears again. Regards, Denis

Hi Denis, Le samedi, 2 février 2013 16.15:10, Denis Prost a écrit : I thought it was solved, but finally the problem is back again. I'm trying now : -- lpadmin -p Epson_Stylus_Photo_750 -R usb-unidir-default lpadmin -p Epson_Stylus_Photo_750 -o usb-no-reattach-default=true --- and will let you know if it appears again. As you might have seen, I have uploaded a possible patch for this issue to Debian experimental, as cups 1.6.1-2 . Can you possibly try cups 1.6.1-2 and report on this bug if it works reliably for you? If that's the case, I might backport the fix to Wheezy and try to get it through (which I doubt is possible at this point of the freeze though).

Le mardi, 22 janvier 2013 21.23:46, Denis Prost a écrit : sorry if this is a little out of topic but, after thinking over it, I just wondered why it would not be fixed during wheezy frozen state, since it's a bug (printer does not work properly, and normal users should not be expected to know the lpadmin command that fixes it). The description you give makes this bug at most important (so below RC severity), see the bugs severity descriptions [0], because cups still works for most people. Or maybe you mean that it is not a critical bug that prevents wheezy from being released, but it will be fixed later during wheezy life cycle ? Don't care about answering that message if you think the printing team is going to do it. Well, there's no real printing team voice, but as I'm currently maintaining cups, I'll answer. :) What we have now is a workaround, not a patch, so it's not something we can just add to cups and have it fixed for everyone. I have pinged the Ubuntu cups maintainer (who happens to have a lot more experience with these issues) to see if we could have a patch applicable to cups. That said, once we have a patch (probably in the backend/usb-libusb.c quirks list), I would be opting to include it in Wheezy, but it would still need to pass the Release Team's review. They are currently struggling with way too much Release-Critical bugs and even if that patch make Wheezy better, it wouldn't be a step towards releasing Wheezy, so I can't promise it'll make it. Cheers, OdyX Thanks a lot for your answer OdyX, and for taking care of that bug. I understand Debian people have a lot to do with critical bugs and surely there's no emergency to fix this one, since there is a workaround. It' fine if it is fixed, one day or another, to avoid other people having to face it.

This happens on Debian wheezy (and also Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10), while I don't get such problem with Debian Squeeze (nor Mageia 2 and Opensuse 12.2). Hello Denis, First get your Wheezy install up-to-date. Then, working on the assumption this may be a USB problem, have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/872483 Comment #61 involves an Epson printer. The tests which are run there (please see comment #56) might help to narrow down the problem.

So, I did a full wheezy upgrade and then performed : lpadmin -p Stylus_Photo_750 -o usb-unidir-default=true and the problem was gone. Then I ran : lpadmin -p Stylus_Photo_750 -o usb-unidir-default=false and it was back, then : lpadmin -p Stylus_Photo_750 -o usb-unidir-default=true and it was gone again. So, it Looks like it is solved ! Thanks again, Splendid! The setting should survive rebooting. PS : will there be a fix in Wheezy so that other Epson stylus photo users don't have to face the same problem ? I cannot really say, but I would guess not because Wheezy is frozen. Someone from the Printing Team would be able to clarify this. It might not be a bad idea to post the entry for your printer in the output of the lsusb command as it might be needed. Please do not forget to send any reply to 697...@bugs.debian.org. (I bounced the previous one there, so no need to bother about that mail).
