Vincent - loading ppdev makes my LaserJet visible as well. It now "magically" appears when add printer is run. Hmm - I wonder if cupsys used to more closely monitor specific signals from the parallel port?
Oh, well - as you say, it's a workaround, not a fix. However, it may provide important information for the upstream folks (I see Martin has already passed it on to 'em).
