...and another frustrated person to confirm this problem, this time with Debian. I've had the same "no parallel port printer discovered" problem for some time now. The antiquated HP LaserJet worked just fine when attached to a Debian 'sarge' system running LPRng. If I remember correctly, it still worked when I switched to CUPS last year (eventually ;). On Debian 'etch', though, it doesn't work at all.
Currently recompiling my kernel package with ppdev-support. Let's see if this works... -- 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
