[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#394934: cupsys: 1.2.3 and later => Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds...

[Vedran Furač]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: important

Lexmark 232, USB.

This bug is introduced in version 1.2.3 and still present in 1.2.5, in 1.2.2
everthing works fine.
Printer is connected and recognized but as soon as I try to print something the
following message appears:
"Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..."

Strace on /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb, version 1.2.2:

[...]
1852  open("/dev/usb/lp0", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
1852  ioctl(5, SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC, 0xbfe4e7de) = 0
1852  write(2, "DEBUG: Printer using device file"..., 51) = 51
1852  write(2, "STATE: -connecting-to-device\n", 29) = 29
[...]
1852  write(2, "INFO: Sent print file, 82 bytes."..., 35) = 35

...and the same with version >1.2.2:

[...]
8225  open("/dev/usb/lp0", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
8225  ioctl(5, SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC, 0xbfae3a6e) = 0
8225  close(5)                          = 0  /* Why??? */
8225  open("/dev/usb/lp1", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
8225  open("/dev/usb/lp2", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
[...]
write(2, "INFO: Printer not connected; wil"..., 57) = 57

I will provide more info if requested/needed.
