Comment 80 for bug 35638

Ben, but note that once, it is also not a problem of the printer setup tools, as already running /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb shows the problem, and second, gnome-cups-manager is not maintained any more and replaced by system-config-printer.

So it can only be the kernel, CUPS, or the printer.

Is anyone here with another printer having the same problem? Which model?

Sitsofe Wheeler, are you sure that your printer, your printer cable, and your PC are OK? Does your printer work correctly with parallel port or network connection?
