Comment 35 for bug 569190

Till, unfortunately it sounds a lot more skin to this bug than the other two. In fact, it sounds almost identical to the issue I'm having, with the sole exception that I reconnect to the printer directly through USB (which seems mildly irrelevant at this point). I've already posted on the forum and there seem to be at least two other people having the same issue with the same printer. Repost:

>I have an Epson Stylus S21. It works like a charm under 9.10 (tested by booting from LiveUSB), but refuses to print under Ubuntu/Lubuntu (also booted from LiveUSB). It recognises the printer and, at least supposedly, installs it. Once I try printing a document, it says that the printing is going fine, but never actually prints anything. It's obviously sending something to the printer, because I can hear the cartridge moving and the little green indicator light keeps blinking. Once the blinking and the movement stop, Ubuntu simply reports that the printing job was completed successfully.

In retrospect, I'd like to add that the "printing progress" percentage goes up gradually as the indicator diode keeps blinking. It never actually grabs the paper though. (if you like, I can send you a video :P)
