hplib Version: 3.10.2-2ubuntu2.1 FYI, This is a networked color laser printer capable of PS and PCL. Same problem here. Works fine from OS X 10.4 (which uses CUPS). I noticed that the manual feed notice on the printer display requests LETTER size, even though I set 5x7 as the paper size. In OS

Creating /etc/pm/config.d/defaults and setting NEED_CLOCK_SYNC=1 seems to be working for me on kernel 2.6.32-25. Can someone else confirm or deny this? I did this after searching and finding reference to a similar problem. See here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/system- u

Jeremy, Why the current development release? This is an issue in the latest LTS release. I can confirm that the backported Maverick kernel, 2.6.35-22 does not exhibit this problem (though I have problems with hibernate and not S3 suspend). While searching I've run across a few people claiming t

I've been having the same problem using the latest kernel, 2.6.32-24. I don't have issues with the mainline kernels and I didn't have this problems with earlier versions of Ubuntu (I've run every version since 6.06 on this hardware). It could be hardware related as the newer kernels (in mainline)
