In 1.4.2 backend/usb-unix.c:
/*
* Disable backchannel data when printing to Brother, Canon, or
* Minolta USB printers - apparently these printers will return
* the IEEE-1284 device ID over and over and over when they get
* a read request...
*/
use_bc = strcasecmp(hostname, "Brother") &&
strcasecmp(hostname, "Canon") &&
strncasecmp(hostname, "Konica", 6) &&
strncasecmp(hostname, "Minolta", 7);
But a USB connected Konica-Minolta magicolor 1600W (and others, e.g. 1680MF, 1690MF, and Okidata C110) has bidi capability. Only the Oki C110 works right. I patched this on my copy of backend/usb, and no harm is done. The marker levels from /usr/lib/cups/filter/command2foo2lava-pjl are right now.
