*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 29050 *** Gnu_Raiz, the problem reported by you is known and fixed in Feisty by making the CUPS startup script loading ppdev also if lp is already loaded. Duplicate of bug #29050.
Andrew H, you problem is different to the one reported by Gnu_Raiz. You are on USB and he is on parallel. And as lsusb does not sow your printer, yours is a kernel problem. Please open a new bug report on it (the kernel package is named "linux-source"). Backport fix requests for the parallel printer detection on Edgy and Dapper please add to bug #29050. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 29050 cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer -- HP PSC-500 no_device_found https://launchpad.net/bugs/77630 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
