Regular update on 9.10 breaks USB Printer

[bludy]

I did an update during a time when power was cycling due do a nasty snow storm, but I'm pretty sure the update was completed successfully before I lost power. What did happen though is that my BIOS setup was reset.

Now if my HP Laserjet 1020 is plugged into USB during boot all other USB devices freeze for a while. So I played with my BIOS setting for USB:

- Enabled V1.1 and V2.0
- Disabled System USB Shadowing

So now my bootup doesn't hang. But now when I actually go into Karmic I still can't print.

dmesg shows the following:

I tried changing kernels but the same problem is there. When I unplug the printer this error goes away. My gut says that USB 2.0 is not working anymore but I can't verify it.

I'm on an AMD64 Athlon CPU.

Help?

[bludy]

Wow. I got another update which included cups and a new kernel and all of a sudden the printer started working again.

Then I lost power and now it's broken in exactly the same way. When I try to print dmesg shows:

[334457.830185] usb 1-10: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd hp rqt 128 rq 6 len 255 ret -110

This is so confusing :confused:

Hey, bludy. I recommend following this guide I wrote:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1438177

It looks like you are currently set up to use hplip (the printer URI starts with hp:/), so you'll need to delete and re-create the printer using the usb:/ interface.

If you want to stick with hplip I don't have any specific advice. I've never gotten it to work, myself. But at least a few details from that guide are still relevant, like the need for the firmware to be loaded (and I think you'll get the same sign when it works), though the method to load the firmware is different. You can also use the same commands for checking whether CUPS is detecting the printer.

[bludy]

SWEET! Changing from hp:/ to usb:/ did the trick.


Who's the man? Kevinator's the man!!!

[bludy]

Jeez. It's borken again. Now dmesg shows this repeatedly:

[ 156.760644] usb 1-10: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1

[ 236.760621] usb 1-10: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1

Firmware is being uploaded to the printer on boot. I don't understand what the hell is going on.

[Yetisaurus Akjas]

I see the same message after each reboot :

usb 1-2: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1

but sometimes accompanied by another one :

usb 1-2: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usblp while 'simple-scan' sets config #1

The /etc/cups/printers.conf file says :

Any ideas ?

Observation: I managed to make scanning possible, but printing, especially PDF files is not working anymore.

hplip, hplip-data, hpijs and libhpmud0 have been "purged"

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. :)
