Bug#795404: cups-backend-bjnp: stops printing after some lines
severity 795404 important
thanks
Hello Björn. Thank you for your report. I think it is reasonable to
assume that having printed on one occasion you will be able to do it
again. Hence reducing severity.

Rather than having to take into account what an application does I'd do
test printing with a small text file or PDF using the lp command.

Even though it looks like the printer was found
'device-id': 'MFG:Canon;CMD:BJL,BJRaster3,BSCCe,NCCe,IVEC,IVECPLI;SOJ:BJNP2,BJNPe;MDL:MG6600 series;CLS:PRINTER;DES:Canon MG6600 series;VER:3.010;STA:10;FSI:00;HRI:D;MSI:AOFF,B015,DAT,E3,HFSF,JOFF,K21000700,LOFF;PDR:4;PSE:ADMM96370;CID:CA_IVEC1TYPE4_IJP;',
'device-info': 'Canon MG6600 series db-printer.fritz.box',
'device-make-and-model': 'Canon MG6600 series'}}
and there was some printing it wouldn't do any harm to look at the
network setup first. Switching db-printer.fritz.box and the printer off
for a few minutes before reconnecting the power is worth a go. You could
also consider using a fixed address and putting it in the device-uri
when the queue is created. Pinging the server while printing would test
it doesn't disappear.
The message
'printer-state-message': u"Network host 'db-printer.fritz.box' is busy; will retry in 15 seconds...",
comes from the bjnp backend.
Let's see how you go with that before we move on to other things.
Regards,
Brian.
