Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I don't use the printer very often so I can't tell when it worked the last
time (but it did exactly in the described configuration). I have a Kyocera
FS-1000 printer connected via a USB to parallel adapter. Previously I used
some HP laserjet PCL driver, but due to the current problems, i switched to
the gutenprint driver which should support my printer.
After noticing that the printer doesn't work anymore, I removed it and tried
the cups auto detection (everthing via the cups webgui). It didn't report
anything. From the output below you can see that the usb backend of cups does
report the printer. In a dpkg-reconfigure cupsys the usb backend is switched
on (parallel too, only scsi and serial are off).
Then I manually added the printer to cups (via webgui). I wasn't provided to
select the local usb port, but on the next page I set the port to
usb://Kyocera/FS-1000. With this configuration I tried the HPLJ PCL 4 and the
gutenprint driver. Both result in the status "Printing page 1, 6%" (sometimes
22%, value differs depending on the used driver). Then the usb process from
the cupsys backend consumes all my CPU unitl I abort the print job. The
printer status then doesn't change until I stop and start it.
I already switched cups logging to debug level, but I didn't find anything
that gives me a hint. dmesg output also doesn't return anything suspicious.

notice that usb is missing (no idea why, but it's also not available in the
webgui when adding a new printer)

here you can see my usb to parallel adapter which already worked.

please ignore the 2nd printer, switching it off doesn't help anything.
