After enabling manually printer remains in “Processing” mode and nothing gets printed.

I would need to spent another hour or two trying to reinstall printer and / or printing related stuff in order to actually print anything. It worked fine in Fedora 11, I have this problem since I've installed Fedora 12.

First, it's worth noting that this printer requires proprietary software in order to work with HPLIP.

Please run the printing troubleshooter: Help->Troubleshoot from the printer configuration window.

Yes, it requires a plugin - there is no information how / where to get the plugin and I could not find the information about that. Secondly, I have downloaded hplip from HP website and installed it - as I understood, it should install a proprietary plugin but the printer still does not work and I have software which does nothing. The only driver which works with my printer is driver downloaded from http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/ - this driver works, but I have to reinstall it every time I want to print something. In Fedora 11 this driver worked fine and I could print whenever I wanted.

Will do when I get home.

Hello again,

I've been investing this issue with help from the maintainer of foo2xqx driver (see http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/forum/list.php?43 for details) - although the resolution suggest broken cable, I am not so convinced.

I have just bought a brand new usb printer cable (Belkin PRO) which apparently didn't solve the issue. What happens is when I connect my printer to the computer I get this:

usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 20
usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=03f0, idProduct=3e17
usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-5: Product: HP LaserJet P1006
usb 1-5: Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
usb 1-5: SerialNumber: AC22Y69
usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 19 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x3E17


hence usb (or udev) has detected a printer correctly, but then I get either (this happens when I restart my printer):

usb 1-5: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd python rqt 128 rq 6 len 255 ret -110
usb 1-5: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd python rqt 128 rq 6 len 255 ret -110
usb 1-5: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd python rqt 128 rq 6 len 255 ret -110
usb 1-5: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd python rqt 128 rq 6 len 255 ret -110
usb 1-5: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd python rqt 128 rq 6 len 255 ret -110

appearing while red light on the printer is flashing (suggest communication issues) or this straight away (this happens when I replug usb cable):

usblp0: nonzero write bulk status received: -108
usblp0: removed

in both scenarios printer is not printing.

If I keep trying to restart printer or re-plug usb cable or change usb cable or change usb port - then suddenly printer will get recognized and I will be able to print. Tested with two different laptops, three different usb cables.

Printer used to work fine with Fedora 11.

please note same happens regardless of the driver used.

also output form /log/var/messages when I do a printer restart, I get this:

If you remove the foo2xqx package altogether do you still see this?  It looks like both it and hplip are trying to download firmware to it.
