Description Marios Andreopoulos 2012-11-30 00:19:22 UTC 
CUPS 1.5.3 introduced some code to sent a usb reset command at the end of a print.
While this solved problems for some printers, it created problems for some others.
Specifically, when the usb reset command is sent, affected printers cancel the print and thus print the last page partially.

Affected printers until now:
PIXMA iP4200, PIXMA iP4300, MP500, MP510, MP550, MP560, HL-1430, Okipage 14ex, Oki B410d, all Zebra printers.

I am surprised no one reported it yet.

Links to CUPS bug tracker (with appropriate patches):
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L4191
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L4155

One of the many reports on launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1032456

The patches from the above sources work with =net-print/cups-1.6.1.
I attach them, as well as an updated ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

After emerging cups 1.6.1 I was also hit by this bug (using a BJC-2100 usb printer) and can confirm that applying the attached patches fixes the problem.

The last patch is also already in 1.6.2. Nothing to do here anymore after 1.6 goes stable.
