[Bug 1258919] Re: printing issue with parallel-to-usb adapter
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.

- 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 :

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 :

- no improvement, my test page stops being printed at the same spot close

- So I am posting this bug report here : can I do anything else for
