gcordoba, can you check whether the parallel port setting in the BIOS of your computer supports bi-directional communication?
Make also sure not having any other device (like a parallel scanner) on the same parallel port. Do also not use any Canon or Epson entries for your parallel port. Can you set up your printer manually (choose parallel port, then select model manually) and then print on it? -- 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
