Description of problem: HP2420D printer connected via USB will not print Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.2.5-2.fc6.8 (also seen on cups-1.2.4-9) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up USB printer with system-config-printer 2.Try to print test page (or try to print any file) 3. Actual results: Lpq lists printer as ready and printing, but nothing ever prints. Expected results: Printer should print. Additional info: The printer printed with no problem with FC5. The kernel is booted with the noapic flag, since otherwise the computer hangs eventually. Various web sites report this same problem by people with other brands of USB printers under FC6 (but before cups-1.2.5-2.fc6.8 was released).
You'll need to give me more information than that. All the USB printers I'm using work fine tiwh FC6, and I haven't spotted reports from other people about USB printers not working on the fedora-* mailing lists. 1. What make and model of printer are you using? 2. How did you configure the printer? 3. What does 'lpstat -s' say? 4. I'd like to see the error_log output from when you print a job, so please do this (as root): Stop CUPS: /sbin/service cups stop Clear out the error_log file: >/var/log/cups/error_log Start CUPS again: /sbin/service cups start Then print your job. When it fails, please attach the /var/log/cups/error_log file to this bug report. Thanks.
