[Till Kamppeter <1512012@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the USB issues of te different USB ports of your docking station
behaving differently, open a bug on the Linux kernel (Ubuntu package
"linux").

Your printing problem can be a bug in the printer's PostScript
interpreter, so please follow the instructions of section "PostScript
(PDF) printer chokes on the PostScript (PDF) coming from Ubuntu" on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems.

As a workaround you can always try PPDs/drivers for PCL 6/XL or PCL 5e/c
(see the "Generic" printers if you do not find anything appropriate in
your printer's entry).

Please post your results here.

Title:
  Kyocera Mita FS-1900 prints garbage

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Using the PPD from
  http://www.kyoceradocumentsolutions.de/dlc/de/driver/all/linux_ppd_s_ksl_8
  .-downloadcenteritem-Single-
  License.downloadcenteritem.html?langLabel=de_de&actURL=/content/sites/kme/de/de/index/serviceworld/downloadcenter
  (the German one, not sure if that could make a difference).

  Followed the instructions on
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems.

  Steps in "USB Printer" gave the following results:

  2. lsmod | grep usb would give several modules (is usblp the right one? the page doesn't tell)
  3. tailing the syslog would show me USB activity during plug and unplug.
  6. lsusb output seems legit: Bus 001 Device 013: ID 0482:0004 Kyocera Corp.
  8. Device id seems legit, usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 says ID:FS-1900;MFG:Kyocera;CMD:PCLXL,PostScript Emulation,PCL5E,PJL;MDL:FS-1900;CLS:PRINTER;DES:Kyocera Mita FS-1900;CID:HP Laserjet 4050 Series;
  10. lpinfo -v has this to say about the printer: direct usb://Kyocera/FS-1900?serial=AAP2925070 (other non-network, direct printers listed are "direct hp" and "direct hpfax", could be a modem jack I never cared about, could be something emulated, no idea)

  Printing the test page gives me two sheets of paper, the first mostly
  empty except for three lines each starting(?) with a single full stop
  character, and a second with these lines (note the initial blank on
  most line starts, could actually be multiple blanks):

   ERROR
   rangecheck
   OFFENDING COMMAND:
   filter
   STACK:
  .
   563135
   --nostringval--
   --nostringval--
   5

  The printer seems to be emitting a line with a full stop every 20
  lines or so, the full stop in the message above is somehow connected
  to that.

  
  From the DebuggingPrintingProblems page, I tried both usb-unidir-default and usb-no-reattach-default, with no discernible difference.

  
  (Things were slightly complicated by the docking station being entirely unresponsibe on three of six USB ports. I don't know whether the ports of the drivers are at fault here, but I guess that's unrelated to CUPS.)
