My set-up is a HP BusinessInkjet 1200 connected to an box running OpenSuse 12.1 with a USB<->Parallel Port converter cable. The printer is set-up via Yast2 and I can print a test page successfully. However, upon reboot, the printer is not properly initialised. It appears that the CUPS daemon has not started or is not responding yet as the dmesg output shows the following: [ 14.754637] udev-configure-printer[690]: add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.0 [ 14.754806] udev-configure-printer[690]: device devpath is /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1 [ 14.754846] udev-configure-printer[690]: Device vendor/product is 067B:2305 [ 14.758783] udev-configure-printer[690]: MFG:HP MDL:HP Business Inkjet 1200 SERN:TH55P34042 serial:- [ 15.034984] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x067B pid 0x2305 [ 15.037050] udev-configure-printer[706]: add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.0/usb/lp0 [ 16.355480] udev-configure-printer[690]: failed to connect to CUPS server; giving up I solved this by adding rmmod usblp modprobe usblp to my boot.local The printer now works as expected. So it doesn't look like a kernel issue as such and more like a timing issue with respect to the start-up of the cups daemon but that's just a wild guess on my part. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Steve, could you add usblp to INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and regenerate initrds using mkinitrd if that makes a difference?

Unfortunately, it did not make any difference. dmesg shows exactly the same error message as in Comment 5 Re-enabling my boot.local solution brings the printer back on-line.

...

From the description, this indeed looks like a racing condition between udev-configure-printer and cups starting up.

There is a slight chance that this might improve in openSUSE 12.2, when booting systemd, as the startup of services is triggered in various ways. As such, udev-configure-printer would be an own systemd service there, triggered to load up cups first (I just submitted a system-config-printer package which actually installs the systemd service files, to GNOME:Factory for review) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
