Hi guys, I want to report that I have VERY similar problem with my OKI B410D printer after upgrade to 11.10 from 11.04. On 11.01 everything worked fine. I've tried already different drivers, the recommended one, the one that is provided by OKI and the proposed here hpijs/pcl5e driver. All have

Thanks Guido, I've posted my logs in your submitted bug #872483. Till, I don't think this bug is fixed as you changed the status here. Is there a way to reset the USB connection manually (instead of turning the printer off-on) so next job will be printed ok? Thanks -- You received this bug

I have the same trouble with my ML-2250 printer. The fix does not solve the problem. Actually the error is same or similar with different driver e.g. pcl or spl. I have no trouble under ubuntu 11.10 could be related e.g. to timing issues. according to my observation the firstjob always prints

Guido, are you on Oneiric? Did you install all the updates? Did you remove and recreate your printer (or at least change the driver to Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e)? If you have still problems, please start a new bug report and follow the instructions in the sections CUPS error_log and Capturing print

I want to know whether the printer is behaving exactly the same way, independent of the driver (Postscript, pxlmono, hpijs-pcl5e) you are using and also if you can always print the first job after turning on the printer and get the problem from the second job on. Can you answer exactly my

OK, thank you very much. With this test result we can solve your problem. It shows that the Postscript and pxlmono drivers print the first printout after turning on the printer well, but leave the printer in a bad state, so that most of the subsequent printouts come out as garbage. Only the

I have done the needed fixes in the foomatic-db package now so that your printer can be used with PCL-5e drivers and also the gdi driver for Samsung's own printer language (try it, perhaps it also works and performs better on your printer). I have also set the hpijs-pcl5e driver as the recommended

I have now fixed system-config-printer, too. It did not recognize all driver types correctly and therefore made wrong selections. The new system-config-printer (1.3.6+20110831-0ubuntu9) will soon be available in Oneiric. ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix
