 Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 4:06 pm Post subject: kernel 2.6.4-gentoo breaks printing |
 |
|
I just updated my kernel from 2.6.3-gentoo-rc1 to 2.6.4-gentoo.
Everything else seems to be working just dandy, but now my USB printer/scanner, a HP PSC1210 won't print anymore (it uses the hpijs and hpoj packages).
CUPS sees the printer just fine, but when I try to print anything, the printer will just keep taking in sheets of paper and spitting them out without printing anything to them.
I will have to cancel the print job and reboot the printer for it to calm down 
Reverting back to 2.6.3 makes everything work fine again.
Has anyone else discovered similar problems with 2.6.4(-gentoo), and if you have, what is your printer type?

Are the config files the same for both kernels?
I haven't had any issues, but I'm not using a USB printer either. Maybe there are some gentoo patches that fix something, I dunno.
There is no gentoo-dev-sources for 2.6.4 yet.  |

The configs are the same, I ran 'make oldconfig'.
There are gentoo-dev sources for 2.6.4, but they are still unstable:
| Code: | lechuck mokautto # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p gentoo-dev-sources
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.4

Hey! Are you a monkey island fan, too?
I guess my portage tree is a day out of sync 
Do you see any errors in the dmesg logs? |

No errors in the log, everything *seems* to be working fine, hpoj sees the printer, CUPS sees the printer, scanning works, but apparently the data that is sent to the printer is not correct.
(Yes, I am a monkey island fan - this one is 'lechuck', my server is 'guybrush', my other destop is 'stan' and my laptop is 'elaine' )

I tried vanilla kernels 2.6.4 and 2.6.5-rc1 and 2.6.4-gentoo-r1 and they all have the same problem. Scanning works just fine.
There seems to be some problem with the usblp-module in kernels >=2.6.4.
Could someone with a USB printer please try a 2.6.4 kernel, so we could find out whether this is a HP specific problem or does this happen with other USB printers too?

| I used 2.4.something before, printing to my USB connected HP Deskjeet 3650 worked just fine. With 2.6.4-gentoo is doens't work anymore. I get 'media tray empty' errors with every print job. *very* annoying. Maybe I'll ahve to downgrade to 2.6.3. |

Hmm... 've got the same problem with my hp deskjet 5150 I think:
Not printing at all/'media tray empty' after one print job - while using 2.6.5-love-*few_releases* earlier and 2.6.4 (downgraded!) now.
'll downgrade to dev-2.6.3 with old .config and and post here my results.

I use love-sources-2.6.3-r6 and I also get the dreaded "Media Tray empty" message with my Samsung ML-1450 USB printer causing my printer to do nothing for about 5 minutes and the printing 2 or 3 lines saying, that it ran out of printing data...
I'd be very very happy if someone could post a definitve solution to that matter..
