seeing that the ubuntu 13.10 live cd gives different performance, I started to try other live cds debian wheezy no way, worse than ubuntu BUT !!!! open suse works PERFECT, not only from linux but also from dos programs under dosemu which is the main reason to use this printer specifically, I could use the parallel printer without problem with this live cd and software:
open suse Release 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64-bit Kernel Linux 3.7.10-1.1-desktop GNOME 3.6.2 CUPS 1.5.4 dosemu-1.4.0.1 the printer was recognized immediately and everything works like a charm from the first moment for me this is a proof that there is something wrong inside debian and printers handling further: the hp deskjet was recognized together with the usb to parallel and both work fine -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249627 Title: usb to parallel prints only once Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: when installing a new printer with usb to parallel converter only the first job is prointed out. The next print job stays waiting in the queue with the message "processing", forever, until the usb cable is unplugged. When the cable is unplugged, berfore re-pluging it again, the state changes to "hold". Aftyer replugging the cable and "releasing" manually the job it prints out again ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: cups 1.5.3-0ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-52.78-generic-pae 3.2.48 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-52-generic-pae i686 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.6 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Nov 9 17:36:30 2013 InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 12.04.2 LTS "Precise Pangolin" -
