When I use "hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4a9_172e_30AFBE_if1_printer_noserial"
as the URI with this PPD file "Canon MP630 series Ver.3.00" It wont
print anything (including test prints) it automatically completes any
jobs I give it, when I give it the URI of "cnijusb:/dev/usb/lp2" with
the PPD file "Canon PIXMA MP610 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5" it display
this as the status "Paused - "Printing page 1, 2%"" with the state of
the job as "/usr/lib/cups/backend/cnijusb failed", when I give it the
PPD of "Canon MP620-630 series Ver.2.80en" it also automatically
completes all jobs without actually printing anything.

Thanks.
