Description alan 2009-12-13 20:34:18 UTC

Description of problem:

FC12 adds the utterly brilliant feature of autoconfiguring and adding printers. Unfortunately its brain dead about unknown devices and happily auto adds things like knife cutting machines and the like. These speak HP-GL (badly) so should not be auto configured as they need to be fed subset vector hp-gl and are not really a "printer".

Not only that but it gets autoadded wrongly, busting everything and only root can undo the mess. This is every time it gets discovered.

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a Graphtec Pro or CE/ series knife cutter with USB interface
2. Watch cups add a load of crap
3. Despair and delete it all again
  
Actual results:

Mayhem

Expected results:

The device should be blacklisted and ignored.


Additional info:

Bus 006 Device 006: ID 0b4d:1115 Graphtec America, Inc. 

All the Graphtec America printer devices should be blacklisted as far as I can tell. They either need hpgl-distiller and inkscape and the right special setup, or they need a magic libusb driver (the basic Craft Robo)

Can test fixes trivially.

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2010-04-08 10:49:27 UTC

Are these devices USB only or can they be connected via other means?

I think I need to see the output of 'lpinfo -l -v' to be sure they won't be autoconfigured via another connection type.

Comment 2 alan 2010-06-21 16:58:24 UTC

I had to do a bit of digging. Some versions also support parallel. I don't know if they support being identified over parallel or not.
