[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#602086: Error: "Unable to write 8192 bytes to printer!"

[Josef Havran]

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.4-6
Severity: normal

When I try to print the first sheet after turning on the printer (Canon MP610)
it fails with the error message "Unable to write 8192 bytes to printer!" while
the printer is cleaning itself. A few lines are printed but then the printer
stops.

Probably fixed in upstream:
