Business inkjet 2200 and 2250 hang forever after first job
Hello,
I have two Business inkjet printers, a 2200cse and a 2250 TN. Both are equipped with both parallel ports, JetDirect ethernet cards, PS interpreter and the 64MB upgrade.
Debian has dropped support for the driver solution I've been using for the past 12 years and now forces me to use hplip; unfortunately, neither printer works properly with any of the hplip-cups from Debian testing, the hplip as shipped by Fedora and Ubuntu nor the hplip downloaded from HP.
The first job prints, ejects the last page, and the printer continues to report "PRINTING..." with the power light blinking as if it is expecting more data. The cancel job button switches the display to "CANCELLING JOB" but nothing further happens. The printer must be power cycled to accept more data.
This behavior happens on both printers and happens whether using JetDirect (ethernet) or using the parallel port. It happens on all linux machines I've tried, Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora. This is not a difficult bug to reproduce, as I've found no situation where the bug does not occur. These printers simply do not work with hplip, period.
Searching through the bugs here, I found several earlier reports spanning the past five years that match this behavior excatly. After requesting copious debugging information from the user, which the user provided, no further help was given (aside from 'reinstall everything') and when that didn't work, the user received no further help, allowing the bug to close from inactivity.
May I humbly request this problem be given some attention, or the Business Inkjet printers removed from the compatability list. They do not work with hplip.
(Should someone be willing to look in more detail, I'm happy to provide any help and further information required)
Cheers.
