From the printing system point of view
From the current point of view the most reasonable
bug resolution is WONTFIX which means in this case

--- Comment #8 from Johannes Meixner 2009-12-17 10:47:10 UTC ---
the 'FileDevice Yes' workaround is the
currently best possible "solution" because
the root cause is a lower level device communication
issue (otherwise a CUPS backend would autodetect it).
Theoretically there might be a bug in the
lower level device communication software
but from my non-expert point of view it is
more likely that this special hardware is
just not better supported and won't get
better supported unless a software contributor
who has this special hardware could implement
better support for it (if this is possible at all).
Conclusion:
that the reported issue is indeed a valid issue and
the root cause might even be fixed, but most likely
not with reasonable effort. This would really be a
status TOOEXPENSIVE that Bugzilla does not provide, see
