I have this problem CHRONICALLY on an HP1300 Laser Jet. For me, the only fix is to completely power down and unplug the printer for at least 5 minutes, then power down the computer, then turn on the printer and restart the computer. I've asked a lot of people about it. The computer loses track of which device it is using, something due to hal or cups or udev upgrade without a restart. The usb subsystem is not very nimble, and sometimes it gets "stuck" in a state that does not match a newly installed hal or cups or something. If you have that same problem I do, you will know it if you do system-config-printer and say you want a new printer, and it will list several devices, all of which are related to your usb plugged in printer. Before the new system-config-printer came out, I used to see like /dev/usb0 /dev/hal-hp1300 /dev/lp0 all of which seemed to point at the same device, and it was never consistent which one I was supposed to use. Now, with new s-c-p, I see several variants of the HP 1300. I don't know why it lists several, because there is only 1 printer, but there is a verbose list like HP 1300 Laser Jet and a more terse looking one like hp1300 laser On 8/11/07, Tim <ignored_mailbox@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sat, 2007-08-11 at 13:08 -0500, Michael Hennebry wrote: > > I recently replaced the black ink cartridge on my PSC 1510. > > Before it printed badly. > > Now it pretty much doesn't print. > > I can get a self-test page by pushing buttons. > > I cannot print a test page through CUPS. > > I get the message > > "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds". > > It's connected. > > Restarting CUPS didn't help. > > What is the magic spell for getting it to print again? > > > > I'm running FC6. > > Sounds like the issue we had with udev on FC7 just a few days ago (since > resolved with another update).
