Hi I can confirm with dapper flight 5 and with all updates with that with my HP laserjet 5L Parallel, it isn't detected automatically by Gnome-CUPS manager. The device is picked up in dmesg. This printer did also work fine in hoary, breezy without issues.
I also have a USB Epson Stylus Color 680 which was picked up fine with my current dapper setup. I havent tried any manual fixes, as its way past my bedtime, but will help bug check if reqd ! ** Changed in: cupsys (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal => Major -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
