*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 29050 *** On Feisty CUPS makes sure that the ppdev module is loaded, so for Feisty this problem is solved and it is a duplicate of bug #29050. For Edgy and Dapper please follow Pascal's hint and perhaps open an update request for the released distributions in bug #29050.
