Hmm yes, I may have an idea ! :-)
Try loading the "ppdev" module ("sudo modprobe ppdev").I had forgotten about this module, which I had added manually, because of a program I installed, which required this module so as to gain (direct) control of the parallel port pins (not for printing). It creates /dev/parport0. I fiddled with it a bit, removing and inserting this modules a few times, it seems to indeed be responsible for my good luck, so give it a try ! Now that helps, but that's still only a workaround and not a proper bug fix : why does one now need to load this modules to get that printer to work, when it wasn't necessary in Breezy ? -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
