The problem is the instability in the return of the device ID. It often happens that there is no answer or the answer is scrambled. So then it does not look like status feedback being dependent on internal parameters like the fuser temperature but on some problem with getting the device ID. CUPS is

The only way for a clean workaround for this problem is to do an appropriate change in the usblp kernel module and/or the "usb" backend of CUPS. Can you do the following: 1. Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to have "LogLevel debug", restart CUPS with "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" 2. Have the CUPS wi

Have you looked into the hunch I posted quite a while ago? The cycling timing may be due to the driver looking at the wrong status bit. If it is looking at a bit which goes on & off to indicate status of the fuser heater temperature, it would behave like it does -- random on and off interval

So then it seems that the problem is not caused by the "usblp" module but by a lowere level USB driver in the kernel or even by the hardware. Does lsusb and lsusb -vvv always give the same output? Or is there some cycling also there? -- Brother Hl-1050 and HL-1430 are not detected properly o
