[SOLVED] Cups 1.4.1 - Printer no longer detected

speng · 2009-10-15 16:54:07

usb 2-10: USB disconnect, address 5
usb 2-10: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6
usb 2-10: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Is what I get if I replug my USB printer. It's an Epson Stylus CX3200, I have already disabled usblp. Any ideas? It worked just fine before the newest Cups update.

check if the printer has "lp" group permission. does lpinfo -v detects it?

Raccoon1400 · 2009-10-15 18:33:23

I have the same issue, but with a brother HL-2140
I'm an engineering student, I need this to work and not be broken by every update.

duncan@duncan-arch ~]$lpinfo -v
lpinfo: Forbidden
duncan@duncan-arch ~]$

what do I do now? It worked fine before.

Then Arch is not for you. Though things generally go well, if you absolutely depend on things you can not base yourself on arch.

Having said that, cups needs 664 to /dev/bus/usb/<bus number>/<device number>

you can find your bus / device number through lsusb. For instance:
$ lsusb
...
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0482:0015 Kyocera Corp.
...

$ sudo ls -l /dev/bus/usb/005/002

apparantly the backend should run as root, this was fixed in ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/420015

I suppose we'll wait till fixes filter through?

Installing "hal-cups-utils" did the trick for me. You probably have to reinstall the printer.

AndyRTR · 2009-10-15 20:03:29

speng, you have a multi device with scanner included? you will need a custom udev to get proper permission to print. see this thread.

Thanks for posting, but it didn't solve my problem.

Yep it's a multi device with a scanner, although cups doesn't even detect the printer when I try to add a new one.
Also, what thread?

E [15/Oct/2009:17:37:19 +0100] Unable to open listen socket for address :::631 - Address family not supported by protocol.

Also getting these in my error log. Related? Although I can still connect to localhost:631 just fine. :s

I have the same printer and the same issue. Tried all the above plus more and no luck yet.

wich one? you forgot the link?

I have this issue with an epson cx 4100

it was working ok until the upgrade... (that broken my dvd/cd too, lol)

(damn murphy... why all this happen when you need to print, burn a cd, copy files, etc? hehehe)

bernarcher · 2009-10-16 00:32:45

Only to be sure - did you blacklist the usblp module? (See: http://www.archlinux.org/news/469/)

This is necessary because cups now uses another means to access usb printers and would not see them if usblp was present.

yep... and did the cupsd.conf modifications, etc...
deleted printer, tried to add/find it again, etc... all the stuff found in news and bbs posts
did not work
(but I have no teste the udev and permission things)

I had to downgrade to cups 1.3.11
and countinue using usblp at rc.conf modules
at least it works
http://arm.kh.nu/ <- awesome, how many storage needs that?

(and I could print the documents I needed to print)

mine worked after blacklisting usblp, replacing cupsd.conf with the default, and rebooting.

speng · 2009-10-16 02:35:38

Anything else I can attempt? Cups just refuses to even find my printer, so I don't know where to start.

AndyRTR · 2009-10-16 05:00:36

Sry. See that thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=620001

speng · 2009-10-16 15:15:44

Thanks, still nothing though.

I added the udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/printer.rules.

speng@spengpc /etc/udev/rules.d $ sudo ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002/005
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 189, 132 2009-10-16 16:03 /dev/bus/usb/002/005

Cups still doesn't acknowledge its existence.

AndyRTR · 2009-10-16 15:33:26

the rule is called to late. it must start with a number below the 50-default.. rule, try 10-printer.rules

speng · 2009-10-16 16:13:31

Contents of 10-printer.rules:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ID_USB_INTERFACES=":0701*:", GROUP="lp", MODE="660"

speng@spengpc /etc/udev/rules.d $ sudo ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002/005
crw-rw-r-- 1 root scanner 189, 132 2009-10-16 17:06 /dev/bus/usb/002/005

Hmmm... why is it in the scanner group all of a sudden?

Am I doing it wrong?

Edit: Just to save time, yes I did reboot.

Hi

My printer is a usb samsung color laser and stopped working after cups update.

I disabled the usblp module in /etc/rc.conf
I entered http:localhost:631, clicked the Printers tab.
I clicked on my printer, and then Modify Printer [it is ths Administration list box]
I choosed your printer port like this: usb://Samsung/CLP-300?serial=3H07BAHPA28046B.
instead of the usb port I had before [I saw my printer was at the usb port it was before the update].

This way I got my printer back to work.
By the way, I configured before the update my printer to work in B&W and Color , so I had 2 samsung printers
at the same port: I configured the "2" printers as shown before.

Thanks for posting Serge.
I can't modify any printers though as cups doesn't even detect it, so I can't add it to modify it.

I'm stumped, might just have to wait for a cups update.

csergec · 2009-10-16 16:56:09

Hi

if you plug your printer and you see it with lsusb it means the system sees it.
Stupid question, have you tried to plug your printer at another usb port?

Sometimes it helps...

had the same problem here. removed the cups package and all of its config files even old folders in /var/spool. installed hal-cups-utils, started cups and installed the printer (the printer's path is now "managed" by hal).

I tried hal-cups-utils before as well, but I don't get it at all. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I installed it, restarted the cups daemon then went into localhost:631 and tried adding a printer.

The only local one is "Local Printers: Hal printing backend "
Selecting that works, it goes to the next screen, then it just displays "hal" in the URI text field with no way to continue.

Bleh

Thanks for the replies though, I did try them all
