Comment 10 for bug 427653

I'm seeing this issue too, on a completely up-to-date Karmic. I'm using an Epson Stylus Photo R1800

Usually I get messages like

[Job 23] Unable to write 8192 bytes to printer!

,or sometimes the job is accepted but then nothing happens at all, not even a message in the Cups error log. The printer's LED flashes though, which indicates it is receiving something from the computer, but I left it alone for 2 hours last night and it still hadn't managed to even begin printing a 150k test page.

Sometimes if I look at the printer's status it says 'Idle..Processing Page 2' or 'Paused.. Processing Page 2'. Since I'm only trying to print a 1 page document I think this is the clue, but I don't know where to look.

I have not been able to print at all since I upgraded to Karmic and Cups 1.4. Previously I was using a Mandriva system with Cups 1.3 (same hardware) and the printer worked perfectly every time.
