Print job doesn't finish using airport express print server.
Last modified: 2008-01-29 00:14:19 EST
Description of problem: I have a HP photosmart 7960 connected via usb to an apple airport express. The airport express advertises the printer over a jet direct port (9100). When printing the test page it mostly prints out then stops. The printer still says "printing". Cancelling the print tests and starting a new test page causes the remaining section of the first job to start printing, followed by the second job. It appears as if the last part of the job is never sent or flushed from the buffer until the next job starts. The printer works fine when connected directly via usb. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.3.4-4.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
What does 'lpstat -s' say when the printer is connected via the airport express print server? I'd like to see the TCP/IP stream between the CUPS client and the print server when a job is submitted. You can do this by running this command: tcpdump -s0 -U -w 9100.pcap port 9100 as root before sending the job, and pressing Control-C after the job has finished printing as much as it's going to. Attach the 9100.pcap file to this bug report. Thanks.
Created attachment 292406 [details] tcpdump output of print job lpstat -s shows the listed device uris with the relevant line being; device for PhotoSmart_7960: socket://one.home:9100 where one.home is the hostname for my airport express. See the attachment for the tcpdump output.
Possibly a duplicate of bug #428536.
