hplip crashes laserjet 1020 printer

[uski]

Hello,

I am using HPLIP 3.15.9

When connecting a HP LaserJet 1020 printer, it is crashed by HPLIP. No printing is possible.
The printer works fine under Windows 8.

I see the following in /var/log/syslog

Oct 27 00:18:15 yoga udev-configure-printer: Device vendor/product is 03F0:2B17

Then I see the printer doing something (motor starts, LEDs blink).
And after a few seconds :

Oct 27 00:18:21 yoga udev-configure-printer: Failed to fetch Device ID
Oct 27 00:18:21 yoga colord: Device added: sysfs-Hewlett-Packard-HP_LaserJet_1020

And then nothing. From now one, the printer will no longer enumerate on the USB bus.
If I disconnect and reconnect it, all I get is :
usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 15 using xhci_hcd
and that's it. And lsusb hangs until I unplug the printer (yes this is a USB 3.0 port and I tried on a USB 2.0 port, same result)

I have to power off and power on the printer again, so it can enumerate, but printing is not possible.
I can reproduce this as much as I want and the printer does work under Windows.

I have removed foo2zjs driver, it did not help.

Kernel is 4.3.0 amd64
Distro is ubuntu 14.04.3

I have used this printer in the past on this exact computer. Not sure what caused the malfunction.

After finishing the above text I tried uninstalling hplip, reinstalling foo2zjs, I was able to install the printer, but I still can't print (that's probably a different issue). But at least it does not crash the printer firmware.

It looks like HPLIP does something that crashes the printer internal firmware.

Just tested 3.12.10 and guess what, it works.

So there is a regression somewhere.
3.15.4 did not work either so it's between 3.12.10 and 3.15.4

This confirms my setup is correct and this is a hplip bug.

[uski (ba-cykian)]

3.13.2 works too.
3.14.6 has a "communication error" (might be the same issue as with the latest driver)
Going back to 3.13.5 : it works.

I'm staying there.

The developpers might want to take a look at the changes since 3.13.5, the regression is somewhere there.

Hi uski,

Thank you for reporting this issue.
We will look into it.

Thanks,

@uski - thank you for your description.
I've lost 2 hours trying to install HP 1020 with the latest version of hplip: 3.17.11 and it is not working there.
I've tried now with 3.13.5, even if it wasn't recommended. I've got warning:
error: linuxmint-17.3 version is not supported, so all dependencies may not be installed. However trying to install using linuxmint-14 version packages.

But after this installation - the HP is working like harm :)
