Hi (again) I recently bought a brother 5050 laser (postscript level 3). Connected it via usb, configured cups to use it. And it worked like a charm. However, now I discover that It doesnt work unless the printer is powered on (not in standby) when the computer boots. If I power it on afterwards, the printer is detected: zits root # dmesg | grep ulpt ulpt0: Brother HL-5050, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 3, iclass 7/1 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode zits root # And when I turn off the printer also: zits root # dmesg | grep ulpt <snip> ulpt0: at uhub0 port 2 (addr 3) disconnected ulpt0: detached zits root # But when I try to print, the job shows up on the cups webpage as processing. And nothing happens! I get a process: zits root # ps aux | grep usb <snip> root 1033 0.0 0.2 2616 1168 ?? S 3:22PM 0:00.00 usb:/dev/ulpt0 24 Test Page 1 (usb) zits root # But it never finishes. What could I do to make it work proberly? If the printer enters standby after boot, then it also doesn't print, with the same symptoms. /Daniel -- There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet. -- Admiral William Halsey
