from another line in the log.
Note that I never owned any other printer than the HP 1200 (at work a 1300).
I never had this problem with the lp0 connection. Only with the USB connection.
Trouble is I have 3 machines (hp 1200 or 1300) - work/home/my parents
3 are now with usb connections. I only have
one parallel connector for home, to revert to.
i have the same failing driver in each place. Cups stops printing
every few days and I have to
reinstall the driver whenever I want to print. It is annoying to my dad who cannot
print when I am not there...
Bad news.
