Recently I have added a network laser printer with a custom ppd (a dell 3110cn) this works, but all my turboprinter installed printers have stopped working. The only immediate clue that I can see is the contents of the the log file:-

What does this mean? (BTW don't get hung up on the A3 printer as my Canon IP4000 does exactly the same thing, but with A4)
Ubuntu USB printers have stopped working

I have done that. I deleted both printers. I have added back the HP 1220C using the CUPS recommended settings via the web interface and that now works again. I added back the Canon printer and that still does not work.
It appears that turboprint has stopped working. I am using ubuntu edgy, fully updated.

I have a similar problem on an MP600.
I solved it by checking the permissions of /dev/usb*
Turned out that cupsys runs as user "cupsys", which needs to be in group plugdev. This is on Ubuntu Feisty. So check
ls -l /dev/usb*
ps aux |grep cups
grep plugdev /etc/group
If that is the case for you, you need to
adduser cupsys plugdev

Hello,
No general problem is known - printing with Ubuntu 6.10 is very reliable on our installations.
To anoopjohn:
There is a known problem with the Canon PIXMA iP1200. Both black & color cartridge must be present, otherwise an empty page is fed through the printer.
To clint1010:
Please post the logfile "/var/log/turboprint_cups.log" (section of the last print is sufficient).

I made the changes suggested in the links, both printers are now showing up under hardware information, where before they were not, (thanks) in tpsetup, when I try to add the second printer with the r220 already installed, I get to where the program asks for the printer(i select the r260) and then, I am getting dropped back to the tpsetup screen, nothing more happens from there.
I also rebooted in hopes that it may help.
