My old HP2100M will work with the CUPS foomatic drivers over usb-to- parallel, but is exceptionally SLOW...
've made changes to the musb.c to recognize and work with the Prolific usb-to-parallel adapter to drive my older HP 2100M. Your-mileage-may-vary. Prolific is a usb-to-parallel adapter with vendor=0x67b / product=0x2305 Attached code for version HPLIP-3.23.3 - io/hpmud/musb.c only. Not sure how to do a patch. >From high level: 1. Obtain the printer model, serial number from the printer/usb endpoint itself and not the prolific's usb enumeration 2. Clear the halt when closing the raw data channel if talking to the prolific ** Attachment added: "musb.c" https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1235563/+attachment/5664907/+files/musb.c -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235563 Title: HP DeskJet 930C fails during print; USB-to-Parallel - not detected by HPLIP Status in HPLIP: Incomplete Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Hello, This printer is detected in Ubuntu/CUPS, however it will not actually print anything succesfully. It prints about half the page and then has an error and stops printing altogther leaving the page in a half-inky mess. The printer works perfectly on Windows XP etc. I ran hp-check and was unable to get this device detected properly by HPLIP after a considerable amount of trying; the device is plugged in via a USB-to-Parellel port: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port Useful config files attached. HP-Check Notes: dbus and libusb are installed but not detected. I also added my username to the lp and lpadmin group, which appears perfeclty in users & groups but keeps throwing an error on lp group for me regardless. I read here: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/62523/how-to- install-a-printer-that-is-connected-via-an-usb-to-parallel-port- adapter -- that it may be possible to do some hardcoding to make it work, but it didn't look like the correct way of doing it. So I am hoping someone will be able to properly debug this issue.
