Without it the printer gets stuck waiting for some kind of USB response from the computer 3/4 into the page. Right at the end of the job. Sometimes it moves the printing head once every few minutes, if we wait for 20-30 minutes it often finishes correctly. Which is unacceptable. Using `no-reattach unidir` instead of only `unidir` seems to also work fine, but is seemed superfluous in my case, so try that if things are still wonky. Disconnecting the USB cable makes it stop the job instantly, spitting the rest of the page. The same setup works on Windows just fine. Maybe adding the other MP2XX models into the list should be considered. In my case, until a few months ago printing via CUPS without any kinds of quirks seemed to work fine, so it seems like some kind of regression.

…they all seem to share the same issues The other USB PIDs were found via http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids. It should be harmless at worst; fill the holes in the list.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
As you can see MP210 was already in the list, I wonder how many missing models in each series are slipping by.

Here are some references about how buggy this entire lineup really is, going back to 2012:
Hopefully with this we'll save a few headaches in the future. |
…he now-duplicated MP280 entry, and fill the holes in the MP 4xx and MP5xx series.
