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. $ lsusb Bus 008 Device 003: ID 067e:0042 Intermec Technologies Corp.
