[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1307221] Re: CUPS does not see parallel printer

Hi Till, dead certain 755 was the default(installation) permissions for parallel backend. You're right! The Deskjet 840C does have a USB port. The printer was given to me by a friend years ago who said it was just a parallel printer. I'd completely forgot to look. But then all my usb ports

Hi Till, thanks for the response. Did 'sudo chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel' and it had no effect. Did 'sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel' and the Ubuntu Cups works perfectly. I have one printer with USB that works fine. I have one parallel printer which now works fine
