Package: cups-backend-bjnp Version: 2.0.1-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, Printer: Canon PIXMA MG6150 Backend: bjnp Upgraded to Debian buster, cups now refuses to print with error "Network host '...' is out of paper, will retry in 30 seconds..." Tried restarting the printer, restarting cups, manually removing 'Reason' lines from /etc/cups/printers.conf (while cups is off), nothing solved the issue. I took a look at upstream changelog and noticed this for 2.0: > Ink level reporting is added as well as improved error handling. I suspected that there could be a regression, so I downgraded the package (and only this package) to the version in stretch (1.2-2) and the problem went away instantly. I didn't even need to restart cups: the new bjnp backend started printing in the next automatic retry. Tried upgrading again and problem returned; downgraded and problem disappeared. Note that I have a few ink cartdriges that are nearly running out, but not low enough that the printer refuses to print. It could be possible that the new ink level reporting code is misinterpreting this condition as an "out of paper" condition. Unfortunately I don't have new cartdriges at hand to test this hypothesis. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.0.15-1-pve (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages cups-backend-bjnp depends on: ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libcups2 2.2.10-6 Versions of packages cups-backend-bjnp recommends: ii printer-driver-gutenprint 5.3.1-7 cups-backend-bjnp suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
