Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.14-3
Severity: normal

I have a printer set up to usb:/dev/usb/lp0, which I have a printer
attached to.  It works fine when the printer is on.   But if the printer
is off and I try to print I get the following error message in
error_log:

I [31/Mar/2002:10:12:07 -0500] Job 7 queued on 'epson' by 'devin'.
I [31/Mar/2002:10:12:07 -0500] Started filter

E [31/Mar/2002:10:12:07 -0500] Unable to open USB port device file
"/dev/usb/lp0": No such file or directory
I [31/Mar/2002:10:13:17 -0500] Saving printers.conf...

What it is saving in printers.conf is that the printer is STOPPED, so I
can no longer print to it.  Even when the printer is started again cups
thinks its still off.  This is very inconvienent because the system
administrator than needs to login to start the printer up again.

The way it work with parallel printers is to just wait until the printer
is on again and then automatically start printing the jobs in the queue.
That is how it should work with USB.

Dear bug submitter,

This bug was reported against a very old version of cups (older than
in the current stable Debian version "Etch"). About a year ago,
Martin-Eric Racine asked for feedback whether the bug still applied to
the current Debian Etch version, but we did not get any feedback. In
order to not keep around old, hardware-specific, and inactive bugs
around forever, I close this bug now.

Please report back if you still experience the problem with the
current version in Etch; if you can test Lenny/unstable, that would be
highly appreciated, of course. I will reopen this bug then.

Thank you for your report!

Martin
