Public bug reported:
I had a bad time until I get this printer working. In the beggining I
could not set it up because bad commands makes the printer freeze. After
strugling for about a week I found the ideal combination of driver and
configurations, but the printer was printing only the first job sent,
after this it won't accept anymore.
I installed the Intermec CUPS drivers (version 1.2-56) available at:
http://apps.intermec.com/EFulfillment/SoftwareListForm.aspx?SoftwareID=3149
Searching for syslog I found that the printer was disconnecting after a
job sent. "DebuggingPrintingProblems" Wiki Page helped me to solve the
issue. After installing the printer, I ran (lpstat -p -d) to find the
printer name, then (lpadmin -p Intermec-PC43t-203-FP -o usb-no-reattach-
default=true) to fix the disconnecting behaiver.
On research I found that is possible to fix the issue also editing the
file (/usr/share/cups/usb/org.cups.usb-quirks) but I will wait untill a
fix is released, probably using this configuration file.
I'm now using Direct Protocol with specific PC43t drivers (not generic
Intermec drivers) and eveything is working properly. I will also report
this problem to CUPS upstream at http://www.cups.org/str.php and past
the link here.
