I hope you have done a search on the line above; there are posts about
this on the foo2zjs site. Whether any of them are applicable to your
situation is a different matter.
The problem could be the USB on the computer; testing the printer on
another machine would be a debug method. There is a possibilty that USB
on the printer is buggy - in the sense that it doen't co-operate with
libusb when attached to the computer. For that you may read the section
'USB printer does not print or prints garbage' at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems
Please would you post the output of
/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
after attaching the printer to the machine and switching it on.
Most of the error_log you provided does not concern the job printed,
which is ok. What is not ok is that there are only a few lines which
refer to the PDF you sent:
I [18/Jul/2013:09:47:25 +0200] [Job 31] Adding end banner page "none".
I [18/Jul/2013:09:47:25 +0200] [Job 31] File of type application/pdf queued by "csanyipal".
D [18/Jul/2013:09:47:25 +0200] [Job 31] hold_until=0
I [18/Jul/2013:09:47:25 +0200] [Job 31] Queued on "HP_LaserJet_1018" by "csanyipal".
After that there is nothing! What should be seen is a record of cups
putting the job through its filtering system (foomatic-rip and pdftopdf)
and ghostscript being used. This seems like a configuration problem as I
can test this part of the process and it works for me. Even if you sort
the USB problem out you would still be unable to print :(.
