This may be related to recent upgrades on the Sid packages. As recently as Tuesday, 01/28/03, this machine was printing just fine. Now however, I cannot even get a wake up from the printer.
The printer is a usb interface, Lexmark z23 hanging off /dev/usb/lp0. I use lprng and have a current debian/sid system. The print queue shows a single job active in the queue, but nothing is coming out. A typical queue output looks like Status: waiting for subserver to exit at 13:53:50.639 Status: subserver pid 1605 starting at 13:53:50.643 Status: accounting at start at 13:53:50.643 Status: opening device '/dev/usb/lp0' at 13:53:50.643 Status: cannot open '/dev/usb/lp0' - 'Device or resource busy', attempt 1, sleeping 10 at 13:53:50.644 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time active root@pcp483125pcs+603 A 603 /root/y.txt 2335 3:53:50 I have tried clearing the queue, start and stop lprng, rebooting, turning off the printer, etc. I suspect some type of recent security fix prevents use of the port. Or something in the new libraries has caused the port to appear busy when it is really not busy at all. I also should mention another message related to this problem. I am not sure what process is submitting this message, but it appears to be from the lexmarkz23 filter/driver called by lprng to process the job: Jan 31 13:54:00 pcp483125pcs (Server)[1604]: lexmarkz33: Update_status: no identifier for 'hfA603' > > Need help.. -- James D.
