Yes, several times in fact. I even rebooted the computer, making sure the printer was connected and turned on before turning on the computer again. The printer recognized the POST from the computer and reset itself. Is the parport module loaded? I have it directly compiled into the kernel. I'm using devfs, which does find a reason to create /dev/lp0; to which I can cat a text file to. Do you have any error messages regarding this in /var/log/cups? I did have one Allow in the wrong place, corrected it, still no joy. After I restarted the computer, I went back into the web browser, using the Add Printer wizard, I can enter the queue name, but when I click on Continue, I still do NOT get any devices listed in the Device drop-down box.
