printing delay between lines
Hello, Printing is hanging between lines : page printing starts normally, then delays occur between lines (print head moves), sometimes for 10-15 secs, sometimes for one minute or more. Delays can occur for a few lines, then printing resume normally for another few lines, then delays occur again. Sometimes, printing start normally, delays occurs for a group of lines, then print completes normally. When printing is hanging, the 7 segment display on the printer shows an animation that sometimes hangs. Happens with PDF or LibreOffice files. My config (Devuan Chimaera, Canon Pixma MP250, USB connection) :

What I need from you (from both systems, the one with the bug and the one without), is the PPD file for your printer (/etc/cups/ppd/<QUEUE>.ppd, with <QUEUE> being the name of your print queue, see output of lpstat -v) and an error_log with an appropriate print job, something which shows the problem on your new system and the same printing task (application, file) on your old system where the problem does not occur.
Please attach all these files to this issue. You need to copy each file, rename the copy adding .txt to the end of the name, and attach each file, one by one. Do not package the files together nor compress them.
For the error_log, first switch to debug logging, running the command
cupsctl --debug-logging`
Then send the print job and when it has completed, copy the file /var/log/cups/error_log.
Sorry for the delay. Here are the files you ask (the ones starting by ERROR are from the failing system). About the test print job : one page. The printing runs normally for 2 thirds of the page, then slows down for a few lines (takes roughly 10 minutes) then completes normally. ERROR_Canon_MP250_series.ppd.txt ERROR_error_log.O.txt ERROR_error_log.txt ERROR_libreoffice_writer_version.txt ERROR_lpstat.txt OK_error_log.txt OK_libreoffice_writer_version.txt OK_lpstat.txt OK_MP250-series.ppd.txt
Hello, Just to know if I can provide other information to help solving the problem.
Hello Mr Kamppeter,Do you have any information about the issue (cups #455) ?Thank you !Regards.
