Bug Description

Also, the "header" printed on a separate page.

The error is BACK since last update of CUPS!

My printer is a Canon MP510.

Hello,

sorry but my english isn't very well...

I've got these problems with first installation of 12.04 LTS. Some of
these problems where described in Bug #987485, 1000253 (only few parts)
and 1001028.
More specifically:

      * the too small typeface,
      * font in the wrong color (usually yellow),
      * the last page is cut off
      * and is sometimes the first cm of the page printed on a separate
        sheet.

After patch cups 1.5.3-0ubuntu2 worked the printer - apart from the
paper feed - fine. Since patch 1.5.3-ubuntu4 the previously described
problems are back. Printing is not possible!

So, now i hope you can help me. I need my printer not often, but when I
need it, it should work.
Thanks a lot and kind regards.

Jörg Griebat

PS: writing in german would be better for me ... and also for the
English language :-)

You tell that your problem shows up again. Can you tell whether the
problem was reported already as a bug here and give a link to the
original bug report? Thanks.

Can you also do the following:

In a terminal window, run the command

lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-unidir-default=true

with <printer> being the name of your printer as displayed by the "lpstat -p" command.

Now turn off and turn on your printer, then try to print several jobs. Does this solve the problem?

If not,

run

lpadmin -p <printer> -R usb-unidir-default

and then

lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-no-reattach-default=true

Again, turn off and turn on your printer, then try to print several jobs. Does this solve the problem?

If not, try

lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-no-reattach-default=true
lpadmin -p <printer> -o usb-unidir-default=true

and turn off and turn on your printer, then try to print several jobs. Does this solve the problem?

Please tell what works for you.

If nothing works, reset all to defaults via

lpadmin -p <printer> -R usb-no-reattach-default
lpadmin -p <printer> -R usb-unidir-default

The command:

lpadmin -p Canon-MP510 -o usb-unidir-default=true

The first three pages have been printed so far without problems. So I
think it works now.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Have a nice weekend :-)

Thank you very much, I will add an exception rule to the CUPS USB backend which applies the option for this printer automatically.
