I have a HP LaserJet 1100 that was perfectly working on Ubuntu 8.04, but couldn't even be detected in 9.04. I didn't even had the /dev/lp0 in that tree. As a machine, I have the exact same motherboard as edfield, and maybe the same computer (a HP Pavilion 750n), which is 9 year old. Everything is stock except the hard drive and a DVD burner.
I added parport_pc in /etc/modules, and rebooted. I then tried to install the printer using the standard Ubuntu GUI, and it detected the correct printer on the parallel port. I could set it up using CUPS+Gutenprint, as I saw it gave "less bad" results as a color approximation at 600dpi. -- Cannot set up parallel port printer on Ubuntu 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369850 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
