We have worked on the problem of USB->Parallel adapters not providing a valid device ID and therefore not recognized by CUPS in the recent months. The upcoming Precise (12.04, due end of April) and Oneiric with my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa) contain this work. You should try them at least as live boot (Precise as daily live CD or end of next week as beta1).
Quick workaround for your system: Try to add a line usblp to your /etc/modules file. This should load the usblp kernel module (which provides /dev/usb/lp0) on boot. To test immediately without rebooting, run sudo modprobe usblp and try to print. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938640 Title: canon bj-200 has stopped printing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/938640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
