    Printer stalls during print - parport0 error - ecp_write_data transfer stalled

    Hello Kubuntu forum,

    I recently installed Kubuntu Hardy 8.04.2 but after installing the hp officejet g55 multi-function printer (using hplip), the page I am trying to print will stop before it is finished and will eject from the printer as if it were finished. The print process continues, however, until I remove it from the printer properties box.

    The error I am getting is as follows:

    03/17/2009 03:47:54 AM roycomputer parport0 io/hpmud/pp.c 281: ecp_write_data transfer stalled
    03/17/2009 03:47:54 AM roycomputer parport0 io/hpmud/musb.c 1565: invalid MlcCreditRequest from peripheral

    Everything seems to check out when I run hp-check and I have added the lp, scanner, and saned groups to the user (me) and it will scan a document using the scanner part of the printer without any problems.

    I do not have this problem in other Linux distributions when I boot into them (multi-boot configuration) so the hardware must be working okay.

    Can anybody give me an idea what the problem can be?

    Sincerely,
    Roy


    UPDATE -------

    I noticed that when I use the device "parallel:/dev/lp0" in KDEprint, a test page will successfully print without a problem but then when I run hp-check, it gives this warning:

    warning: Printer is not HPLIP installed. Printers must use the hp: or hpfax: CUPS backend to function in HPLIP.

    So if I use the device "hp:/par/OfficeJet_G55?device=/dev/parport0" the warning goes away in hp-check but the problem re-surfaces once again.

    I do not know how to fix this problem,

    Roy
