Part of the problem is bug 40826: /etc/modules does not contain 'lp' for systems installed with ubiquity (the live CD installer). Manually adding it there will make parallel printers work in general. However, they still don't seem to be detected automatically, which definitively is a breezy regression.
Can anyone with a parallel printer check whether this happens with the plain upstream 1.2rc3 as well? -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
