4.14.10-gentoo-r1 breaks cups printer functinonality. AFAIK worked with 4.12 gentoo sources and out of tree 4.13 gentoo sources. I only print from time to time. ASUS-G75VW /home/roman # uname -a Linux ASUS-G75VW 4.14.10-gentoo-r1-01-01-2018 #2 SMP Mon Jan 1 18:10:06 CET 2018 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux A test kernel works with the oldest kernel available in the portage tree: 4.1.43-gentoo-r1 emerge gentoo sources 445 zcat /proc/config.gz > .config make oldconfig emerge nvidia-drivers add it to the bootloader and booted from it ASUS-G75VW /home/roman # cat kernel_cups_working Linux ASUS-G75VW 4.1.43-gentoo-r1_test #1 SMP Mon Jan 1 20:03:50 CET 2018 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux -- Reference for full topic. What I did and such: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/cups-no-printer-found-root-login-not-accepted-the-second-time-4175620647/ Linux mint works out of the box, except linux mint is unable to handle zip files. AFter unzip the ppd file it worked of course. -- the printer is ~9 years old. A business printer, very expensive. less than 500 printouts on it, as i print very rarely a few pages a year. I use gentoo longer as this printer, And this printer survived several gentoo notebooks. -- same /etc/cups folder. basically same kernel config and cups works with older test kernel. wifi is broken, as it seems older kernel has some other symbols for wifi. Workaround is to boot very outdated kernel to use my printer now.
kernel 4.14.x breaks usb functinonality reported back to kernel.org mailing list feature broken for cups + business printer from kyocera cups + brother scrapyard printer, DCP-150C heimdall -- works with kernel 4.1.x gentoo-sources, out of the tree taken 1-1-2018 works with kernel 4.9.7x gentoo-sources, out of the tree taken 2-1-2018 kernels higher as 4.9.x are ****, as you can see on => https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-d...bb2e0259f2ac3e and other posts on the net Kernel org better rename it to release candidate status, or alpha status: "stable: 4.14.11" or "mainline: 4.15-rc6" only stable kernels are longterm kernels because of more strict patch requirements.
@Roman Gruber can you please wrote here the kernel.org mailing list report link ? so that we can keep this bug update
found it, but that is bugzilla.kernel.org not the mailing list.
Is this issue still outstanding?
