User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050719 Epiphany/1.6.5

Description of problem:
I'm using the hplip and cups daemons that start at boot.

I have a usb hp printer that I turn on when I want to print something.

Unless the printer has finished turning on by the time I click print, I get nothing printed, i.e. the print spool doesn't seem to work at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Need version numbers of the packages.  rpm -q cups hplip
2. Did it work before you installed hplip?

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2005-09-11 10:39:28 UTC

$ rpm -q cups hplip
cups-1.1.23-15.1
hplip-0.9.4-1.1

I don't know whether it worked before I installed hplip.

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2006-11-17 13:45:56 UTC

This is an FC4 bug, don't think it will be fixed.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2006-11-17 13:52:31 UTC

Are you still using FC4 or have you upgraded since reporting this?

Comment 5 Need Real Name 2006-11-17 13:53:29 UTC

I upgraded to FC5 and FC6 (two boxes).

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2006-11-17 13:54:02 UTC

Do you still see the problem on FC5 or FC6?

Comment 7 Need Real Name 2006-11-17 13:56:39 UTC

Come to think of it, I have seen it at least once on FC6 (the printer is
normally on), I will reopen the bug and close it if I can't reproduce it.

One command that does not work though is this:
 cat file.txt | lpr
I'll also re-test that.

Comment 8 Need Real Name 2006-11-17 16:43:10 UTC

Nope, both work.
