2013-12-18 00:13:27 penalvch summary printing issue with parallel-to-usb adapter 067b:2305 printing issue with parallel-to-usb adapter
2013-12-18 00:15:02 penalvch description 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 : Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port 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 : http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc3-trusty/linux-image-3.13.0-031300rc3-generic_3.13.0-031300rc3.201312061335_amd64.deb no improvement, my test page stops being printed at the same spot close to the end. So I can assume that there is a bug in the controller's driver. So I am posting this bug report here : can I do anything else for helping ? Is there any hope that this will be investigated further ? Best regards R.
