Can't print in Maverick : docs stay forever in printing queue

Can you follow the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems especially following the sections "USB printer" "CUPS error_log", and "Capturing print job data". Thanks.

Here are the output for the "USB Printer section"

lsusb hangs and doesn't output anything, ctrl-c has no effect.

Here are the outputs for "Capturing print job" section. The file I tried printing is the text file "usb_printer.txt" I previously attached here. The printout file follows and seems to be OK.

My /var/log/cups/error_log file remains empty.

If I'm right, I had nothing special to do in Maverick to get cups errors being logged.

Laurent, can you attch your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf?

Your usb_printer.txt file shows that the permissions of your printer's USB device files do not get set. For me it looks like a problem of UDEV.

Till, here is my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.

Thanks for the time you spend on my problem ;)

Till, I have some great news : after tonight bunch of updates, it prints again. Here are the list of updated packages, in them is the one that caused the problem ;) :

Udev has been updated, so I think that you were right ;)

Thanks again for the time you spent.

Well finally that was to early to rejoice : I managed to print a file only one time after the update reboot. But I rebooted once and now, I can't print anymore.

It's even worse : the printer doesn't appear immediatly in the printers list when I try to print just after the reboot.
If I reboot with a print job pending, after the reboot, the printer status icon in the notification area takes a long time to appear.

I don't know if i have the same problem, but the symptoms look similar. Yesterday (10.04) everything worked fine, but after the upgrade (10.10) i can't print anymore.

I'm using a Hp Laserjet P2015n and a Ricoh Aficio 1022 both with a samba connection.

I get this error message: "Error writing spool: Server packet had invalid SMB signature!"

thanks.

Jack, your problem is not the one described here, but a problem of the "smb" CUPS backend which is a part of Samba. Please report a new bug on the Samba package.

I'm also getting this error message: "Session setup failed: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE" (this one appears when I try to "print self test page")

Sorry for the duplicate comment. The page was hanging on the first one.
