Bug#729802: cups-server-common: usb printer does not enable
Package: cups-server-common
Version: 1.6.3-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer!
I have the HP Laserjet P2055 connected via USB. If I submit a job and the
printer is not connected, the printer status goes to pause. If I connect the
printer to the usb ports, the status does not change. I have to enable the
printer manually. This is not what I expect of the system. If I plug a printer
and the printer is enabled, I always intend to enable and use this printer.
It would be great if a printer that is already installed in cups goes to status
idle automatically after connecting it. I think Debian should provide a
solution for this. May be Debian does but it does not work with my special
printer. The package system-config-printer-udev does not help.
I attach some udevadm outputs that may help.
Partial solution:
--------------
I tried to solve this problem with an udev rule. The rule
ACTION=="add" SUBSYSTEM=="usbmisc", KERNEL=="lp*",
RUN=="/usr/local/bin/cupsenablebyserial.sh %s{serial}"
calls a script cupsenablebyserial.sh. It works almost fine. But I need the
serial as a parameter to be able to enable the correct printer. For some
reasons the %s{serial} is empty.
The helper script should be something like this:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
echo Failed to enable usb printer. /usr/local/bin/cupsenablebyserial called
withoud a valid serial. Please report this bug to debian team and help them to
fix this. >> /var/log/cups/error_log
exit
fi
printer_name=$(lpstat -v | grep $1 | awk '{print $3}' | sed s/://g)
if [ -z "$printer_name" ]
then
echo Failed to enable usb printer with serial $1. Did you install the
printer with this serial? >> /var/log/cups/error_log
exit
fi
cupsenable $printer_name

#udevadm info --query=all --attribute-walk --name=/dev/usb/lp0
Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.
