Description Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-07-10 23:29:07 UTC 
When printing a page on a USB printer, the job often stops somewhere in the
job (e.g. after half a page). When using the same printer with a parallell
port, the jobs goes through. Communication problems?
Comment 1 Glen Foster 2000-07-30 22:40:02 UTC 
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Release-Candidate #1
Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2000-08-01 10:08:57 UTC 
Does it stop altogether?  With the USB in 2.4.0-testxx I was seeing occasional
long delays with USB, which seemed to go away with test5.  Perhaps there are
some backported fixes we need?
Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-08-01 11:45:28 UTC 
Yes, it stops altogether. Please check for important fixes in test5 (there are
some wrt. USB storage as well, which I would like backported... possibly more)
Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2000-08-03 12:22:48 UTC 
Is this with ohci, uhci or usb-uhci by the way?  I don't know the USB code very
well so I'm not sure which changes we want..
Comment 5 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-08-03 13:39:38 UTC 
uhci

Printing works fine with a USB-to-parallell-port converter, BTW - but not with
the native USB driver.
Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2000-08-04 09:24:50 UTC 
Does 2.2.16-18 make things any better?
Comment 7 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-08-07 16:12:20 UTC 
yes, it works fine now.
