Comment 83 for bug 35638

Whoa! I respectfully object that declaring this bug as invalid just to resolve it is not a responsible way to treat Ubuntu bugs. I am one of the other people who "really saw this problem" and reported it. I haven't been participating in this bug thread for quite a while because I got around the bug by using the parallel port instead of the buggy USB interface, but I've been watching and hoping for a bug fix. My printer is a Brother HL-1440. I have several. They all do the same thing. I recently bought a newer Brother model HL-5250. I've been too busy to install Hardy alphas since alpha-3, but when beta is released, I plan to install the beta and re-test all of the bugs I reported which are still unresolved, including this one. I recall seeing other bug reports which are almost duplicates of this bug, so I'm sure that other people had the problem and either gave up on Ubuntu or used a different printer or port.

I see that a new Brother driver is targeted for inclusion in the beta release. That should be a good time to re-visit this bug. As the famous movie line from Arnold goes, "I'll be bock." Please keep this bug open.
