Followup-For: Bug #663868
Dear Maintainer,
After a long while I tried to use my LaserJet 1018 again, and I ran
into this bug.
What happens is this: When the printer is plugged in, the firmware
upload script is started by the udev rules. It will try to use the
CUPS USB backend to upload the firmware file to the printer. The CUPS
USB backend will unload and reload the usblp module. This will
generate hotplug events, and udev will restart the firmware upload
script... And so it gets stuck in an infinite loop.
The attached patch 97-hplj1000-fix-firmware-upload-infite-loop.patch
fixes this. In the CUPS code path we ignore usblp-generated events
(with subsystem "usbmisc"), preventing the loop. In the usblp code
path on the other hand we ignore non-usblp events.
I've also attached a revised 30-udev-rules.patch. The old version ran
the firmware upload script on both hotplug and unplug. This was fixed
by adding an ACTION="add" clause to the rules.
Description: Prevent an infinite loop when loading the firmware.
When using the load_cups method, the CUPS backend will internally
unload and reload the usblp module. This will generate
SUBSYSTEM=usbmisc events that need to be ignored in the CUPS code
path, or this script will be rerun in an infite loop.
But when using the load_usblp method, the usblp module is obviously
needed. So in this situation we need to ignore the SUBSYSTEM=usb
events.

Description: Correct the udev rules:
a) remove KERNEL=="lp*", as usblp is now blacklisted by CUPS (it will work without CUPS too).
b) Replace paths: /etc/hotplug/usb/ by no path, as the binaries are shipped in /lib/udev/
c) Drop the MODE specification
d) Add ACTION=="ADD", otherwise the firmware script runs after unplugging as well
