Description of problem: Shortly after the last round of updates an HP 5610 USB printer began pausing during print ... every "line printed" ... 5 - 10 seconds some times. Samsung ML1710 is fine (USB via ETHERNET). How reproducible: Every time I print
What does 'grep ^.Nick /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd' say, in a terminal window?

Thanks. What does 'rpm -q hplip' say?

I am wondering if the printer is the problem. I make a "scan/copy" and it was is behaving oddly. I did a "hard reset" (pull power and usb). I printed a single page document, it did well. I printed a second copy of the same document, it started acting up. May need another printer ...
Since it's a USB printer there's a little chance the culprit could be the cups usb backend. Can you follow the instructions in description of bug #873123 ? You can reply in this bug.
Sorry for the delay ... Try to print "test page", minutes go by ... ** lpstat -p printer HP-5600 now printing HP-5600-122. enabled since Sat 08 Dec 2012 09:57:35 AM EST Unable to send data to printer. ** I disabled the printer, lpstat: printer HP-5600 disabled since Sat 08 Dec 2012 10:45:44 AM EST - Paused ** I enabled the printer, lpstat: printer HP-5600 now printing HP-5600-122. enabled since Sat 08 Dec 2012 10:46:36 AM EST Sending data to printer. printer starts running ... long pauses still ... ** disable ** lpadmin -p HP-5600 -o usb-unidir-default=true ** cycle power on printer ** enable it restarts the test page ... long pauses ** disable ** lpadmin -p <printer> -R usb-unidir-default ** lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-no-reattach-default=true ** cycle power on printer ** enable it restarts the test page .. prints it all, non-stop, except the very last line.

I am using the "USB" driver instead of the HPLIP driver ... ???
(In reply to comment #7) > I am using the "USB" driver instead of the HPLIP driver ... ??? Well, no, you are most likely using hp backend, so the previous test was useless. I hadn't realized that, sorry :( Could you attach an output from printing troubleshooter ? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_printing_problems#Printing_troubleshooter (In reply to comment #5) > I printed a single page document, it did well. > I printed a second copy of the same document, it started acting up. > May need another printer ... That's another possibility.
Created attachment 661926 [details] output from system-config-printer -> help -> troubleshoot This was a "test page". I ran a "cal 2000 | lpr -P XXXXX" and it took 10 minutes to print the top 10 lines.
Please forgive this horrid waste of your time. The printer gave NO INDICATION of any error. I noticed when making a copy, that it was SLOW TOO. I unplugged it from computer, power cycled printer, tried to copy with USB unplugged, copy still slow. So, I: * replaced black cartridge with spare * did alignment * slow as blazes then: * ran "cartridge clean" * slow as blazes then: * removed the COLOR cartridge and returned it * printed a "test page" from the HP 5610's control panel * the damn thing worked fine. The color cartridge was not low, all colors on test page printed fine.
No problem. Just FYI, the log in comment #9 has shown that you really use usb backend so the test in comment #7 was worth the try.
