2.4.19: drivers/usb/printer.c usblpX on fire
Is there a reason that in 2.4.19's drivers/usb/printer.c if the printer status code from is greater than 2 it states that it is on fire instead of printing the unknown error code?

Dunno, but the parport lp.c also goes into "printer on fire" mode, in my case whenever the black ink cartridge becomes empty :-(

The printer on fire message is the traditional Un*x error message for
unknown error on a printer.

What I don't understand is why the misleading message is sent
instead of the printer driver stating that it has received an unknown printer error code and printing the code number.
Out of curiosity, does there exist an error code that a printer can
assert that specifies that it is "on fire"?
