Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cups
This bug is a possible duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/564917 but I am starting a new one as ubuntu-bug cups asked me to. I have an aged Canon LBP-4sx lser printer/ It is a parallel port printer connected to the USB port on the computer via a USB adapter. The workaround in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/491205 worked for a while, but appears to be no longer applicable. This printer and adapter combo worked fine in older versions, bu has cause grief in the last two or three ubuntu releases. Cups does not detect the printer, giving the error: "/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb failed" possibly because lsusb is not providing an identifier with the ID. This is the line that gets added when the printer is plugged in: Bus 002 Device 007: ID 1525:0011 however, /dev/usb/lp0 exists and if I run echo "blah" > /dev/usb0, the data light on the printer flashes as though it was receiving a job. I have tried setting up a printer by uri manually (selecting scsi printer and then supplying a USB url). when I print a test page, I get this in /var/log/messages: Aug 18 19:21:20 crivens kernel: [ 8852.082171] usb[5934]: segfault at 0 ip 00007febd09b4b44 sp 00007fffb5c4bd68 error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[7febd092e000+17a000] I'm not sure if that's due to the printer, or to the fact I had selected SCSI -- add usb printer is not an option, for some reason.
