canon bjc8200 stopped printing

[coco-loco]

Hi everyone,
After my last system update to kernel 2.6.17 r8, cups 1.2.4 and gimp-print 5.0.0, my printer doesn't work anymore (it worked ok before). When I start a print job, the page is engaged and the printer-head is moving as if it will be printing, but then it stops and remains in error position (the led is blinking). I have to stop the printer in order to resolve the error.

I tried with an unmerge / re-emerge of cups and gimp-print (following some suggestions i've found on the net), but no success. I've also made some testing with several drivers, using the cups drivers instead of the gutenprint ones, using the bjc600 drivers (which might basicall work with a bjc8200) but the problem remains the same. Therefore I doubt that is a driver error, perhaps an error with the lp port? But where to begin the search....?

Any help will be greatly apreciated!

Ok, I've found a workaround. I've bought an usb-cable to connect it, this helped. It seems that there's a communication problem when I use the printer port.
