[Bug 1258919] [NEW] printing issue with parallel-to-usb adapter
Public bug reported:
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
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
to the end. So I can assume that there is a bug in the controller's
driver.
So I am posting this bug report here : can I do anything else for
helping ? Is there any hope that this will be investigated further ?
Best regards
R. Grasso
