Distribution: Opensuse 10.2 Hardware Environment: normal x86 PC (Asus A7V880 Motherboard), Kyocera FS-600 Printer, Sitecom CN-103 USB to Printer Cable Adapter (product home page: http://www.sitecom.com/product.php?productname=USB+to+printer+cable+%96+1.8m&productcode=CN-103&productid=30&subgroupid=20 ) Software Environment: CUPS 1.2.7, hpijs 1.7.1, vanilla kernel provided in the opensuse 10.2 repositories Problem Description: When I plug in the adapter, it is being detected and the usblp kernel module is loaded. hwinfo --usb says that it found a "Prolific IEEE-1284 Controller", so everything looks good. The printer works fine on the "real" parallel port, but it doesn't with the USB Adapter. When i try to print a test page, i first have to wait for a few minutes and then only the top 15% or so of the page will actually be printed (the rest is left blank). I have also tried this with the Sidux Live CD (2.6.20 kernel), but it behaves in exactly the same way.

Could you please try: latest vanilla kernel (2.6.22-rc4) raising debug level on the system (dmesg -n 7) and compiling the kernel with USB debug. Can you also check if any messages in the /var/log/messages or dmesg and attach those (both while you connect the printer and when you start printing). Thanks.
Please reopen this bug if: - it is still present with kernel 2.6.22 and - you can provide the requested information.
