I have a Canon Pixma MP150. It's old but it still works well. The problem is that since I have been running Ubuntu 12.04 the printer exhibits odd behavior. Usually right at the end of a job, it will stop. The printing is done, but the printer is still "working" and it won't release the paper.
If I pull it out and test the printer, it will start over and print the same job. Once I just let it be and about an hour or so later it finished with no problems.
My question is, could the be an issue with the printer (it is old) or is it the drivers in Ubuntu?
Any advice (or suggestions on debugging) would be greatly appreciated as I print a lot and don't really want to buy a new printer.
