Printer Does not Automatically Turn On Anymore

[Sb]

Hi,

I have an HP Deskjet 3910 Printer connected to Ubuntu Hardy with the HP DeskJet 3920 Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.2 drivers. It used to automatically turn itself on when I sent it a print job. Now, it no longer does. I have to manually turn on the printer. (It's a "soft" switch, obviously.) I have verified that on another operating system this feature works fine, so it is definitely an Ubuntu problem. I don't know at what point this stopped working, but I do know that this feature worked well on Ubuntu Hardy before.

Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Yes the issue remains the same on Ubuntu 8.10.

Thanks for the update. To further diagnose this problem, we will require the CUPS error logs. To get this, please go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#CUPS error_log and follow the steps under the "CUPS error_log" section. Thanks in advance!

This is most likely a problem with the hplip package, which provides the backend used by CUPS to print to HP printers. I am moving the package to hplip.
