CanonIP4200 does not print complete pages #4155

michaelrsweet · Aug 2, 2012

Version: 1.6.1
CUPS.org User: stosch

Since the release of CUPS 1.5.4 my printer does not print complete pages any more (e.g. testpage finishes at about 3/4). The job however is logged as completed. Reverting to 1.5.3 solves the problem in general.
Seldomly there are jobs which are not finished and the printer just hangs. I then have to turn of the power of the printer. I had this problem with 1.5.3 yesterday but cannot reproduce it.
My guess would be, that it has something to do with the usblp/libusb changes here: http://cups.org/str.php?L4128. Especially the comment to the usb-libusb-c-update-1-5-x-3.patch sounds familiar.

In addition: I am using Archlinux x86_64. In earlier days it was suggested to blacklist usblp - I tested both versions - with and without usblp - and got the same results.
I enabled Debugging in cupsd.conf and received no errors.

Please tell me if you need any further information.

What printer?

Can you provide a debug error_log file? Run:

cupsctl --debug-logging

to enable debug logging, print something, then attach the /var/log/cups/error_log file.

Thanks!

I attached the error_log. My printer is a Canon PIXMA iP4200 (ID: 04a9:10a2)

i downgraded cups to 1.5.3-5. and it seems to works (i will see...). (i let libcups 1.6.1-1)

The problem is a port reset which is done by the new USB backend of CUPS 1.5.4 and 1.6.x to clean up after the job. I will add a quirk handler for this reset so that it will not be done for all printers.

Patch to fix this bug is attached. The reset after the job will now only be done for Samsung printers and for Prolific Technology USB->Parallel adapters as they need the reset to work correctly.

michaelrsweet · Aug 6, 2012

CUPS.org User: stosch

Thank you. The patch solves the problem of not completing the pages. Though I still have some problems which are pretty random and obviously depending on the software I use:
As I described earlier the printer sometimes hangs after some lines of printing and the only help is to unplug it. I tried it both with and without usblp kernel module loaded. The dmesg output which seems to correlate with this is:
usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 9 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x10A2
usblp0: removed
usblp: can't set desired altsetting 0 on interface 0
The problem occures within Openoffice and Canon CD-Labelprint but I haven't experienced it with Adobe Reader. I also had this problem with CUPS 1.5.3.
Is this somehow related or should I open a new bug report?

michaelrsweet · Aug 6, 2012

CUPS.org User: till.kamppeter

On https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1032456 two users have already confirmed that the patch fixes this bug. I have also done a regression test with the Prolific Technology USB->Parallel adapter (needs the after-job reset and has therefore a quirk rule) and it still works.

michaelrsweet · Aug 6, 2012

CUPS.org User: stosch

Ok, I think(/hope) I found the problem. As you (till.kamppeter) posted somewhere else (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1001028/comments/33) to a slightly different problem I tried to execute:
lpadmin -p -o usb-unidir-default=true
Since then I have printed about 20 jobs without hangs and everything works perfectly.
Thank you again for your great help.

michaelrsweet · Aug 7, 2012

CUPS.org User: till.kamppeter

We have issued the patch now as a Stable Release Update for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and more people have confirmed that it fixes their problems.

michaelrsweet · Aug 10, 2012

CUPS.org User: till.kamppeter

Attached is an update for my patch. It adds two quirk rules to force uni-directional communication with the Canon Pixma iP4200 and iP4300. This should solve the problem of stosch in this bug report and also https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1032385.

michaelrsweet · Aug 16, 2012

CUPS.org User: stosch

Thanks for the update. It works perfectly here, too.

michaelrsweet · Aug 20, 2012

CUPS.org User: till.kamppeter

Unfortunately, the previous patches caused a regression. The quirk rule for all Samsung printers to still get the clean-up reset did not work making all Samsungs not working with the USB backend.

I have fixed this now and so from now on all-of-a-manufacturer quirk rules (product ID set to 0x0000) work.

michaelrsweet · Aug 28, 2012

CUPS.org User: mike

Fixed in Subversion repository.

michaelrsweet · Sep 14, 2012

CUPS.org User: gentoo_root

I have the same problem with Canon Pixma MP550 (04a9:173d). Please add quirk for this printer too.

michaelrsweet · Sep 17, 2012

CUPS.org User: till.kamppeter

Thank you for the hint. I am preparing some additional quirk rules currently and I will add your printer.

michaelrsweet · Sep 22, 2012

CUPS.org User: fitzcarraldo

I am not sure whether or not I am supposed to file a new bug report, as I believe the problem I am experiencing is the same as reported here, but this report has been closed with resolution, but the patches attached do not refer to the model of printer I have that is suffering from the problem of incomplete pages being printed. The printer is a Canon PIXMA MP560 (04a9:173e), so would you kindly add this printer to your patch. Thank you.

michaelrsweet · Sep 24, 2012

CUPS.org User: till.kamppeter

fitzcarraldo, I have submitted the fix for your problem together with fixes for other printers as STR #4191.
