Public bug reported: Hi!
I report this bug against the Dapper version of Cups. I've attached a Brother HL-1050 Printer via USB to my SOHO server running Dapper. The first job which is send to CUPS after the printer is turned on or got connected to the server works without any problem. The next job send to CUPS never gets printed until I switch the printer on/off and or dis-/re-connect it from the usb bus. Within the Cups-Webadmin interface it keeps writing: Brother_HL-1050_series_USB_1 (Default Printer) "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..." Following processes are running the whole time, even if I restart cupsys these processes get back if such a job is still in the queue. cupsys 18057 0.0 0.4 4328 1936 ?
