boblinux, as per http://global.shuttle.com/products/productsDownload?productId=1718&panelId=1 an update is available for your BIOS (1.04). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.04 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - printing issue with parallel-to-usb adapter + 067b:2305 printing issue with parallel-to-usb adapter ** Description changed: - Hello, - - So far I am assuming that the problem is a driver one. - - I have an old HP Deskjet 710C parallel printer.

I really don't print a lot, so it ages well. I just replaced my former desktop with a new barebone without parallel port - no space to embed a PCI IEEE 1284 adapter. So I just bought a cable which is a parallel-to-usb adapter : it is a Sweex adapter, the kernel recognizes it as : Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port I configured cups to use this new adapter, with the same old pnm2ppa driver. When I try to print a test page from cups (or other printings) it goes well, until close to the end, when the printing suddenly stops, without the sheet being released : I have to power off the printer, - which as a side effect triggers the sheet ejection before power off. - - I read various articles and forums on this topic before posting. Playing + which as a side effect triggers the sheet ejection before power off. I + read various articles and forums on this topic before posting. Playing with usblp, kernel blacklists and /dev/usb/lp0 does not solve anything. - I wanted to be sure that it was not the Prolific controller which was flawed. So I connected it to a windows 7 virtual machine into Virtualbox; Windows installed various drivers, and eventually various printings ran seamlessly - without my issue on GNU/Linux. So my - conclusion is that the controller is ok. - - I also just tested a mainline kernel : - - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc3-trusty/linux- - image-3.13.0-031300rc3-generic_3.13.0-031300rc3.201312061335_amd64.deb - - no improvement, my test page stops being printed at the same spot close + conclusion is that the controller is ok.
