[cups] Epson PictureMate 100 with Raspberry Pi

[Thomas Barrett]

Thanks for the suggestion, Michael.

I’m afraid it had no effect and the same problem occurs with no new messages in the log (that I could see). I also tried setting uni-directional USB (as per recommendation here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#USB_printer_does_not_print_or_prints_garbage <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#USB_printer_does_not_print_or_prints_garbage>) but it similarly seemed to have no effect.

The printer works with my Macbook but with the Pi it gets as far as beginning to print (I hear the printer head move) and then it hangs. I can cancel the job in CUPS but this seems to have no effect.

>> The job then hangs at 18%. It appears to me that the printer is reporting some kind of state-changed event but I don’t know how to access it. Is it possible to get a readable version of the event? Openprinting suggests that the PictureMate should work perfectly with gutenprint 5.2.7 and I am using CUPS version 2.2.1 with gutenprint 5.2.11 so I am at a loss as to further debugging pointers.
