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 onlyunidir
seems to also work fine, but it 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.
