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
As a workaround, try
sudo chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel
Does this make your parallel printing work?
Does your printer have a USB connection? It is generally better to use a
printer via USB, faster more reliable, will work with your next PC, ...

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
This is absolutely strange, 755 and 777 should not make any difference
for CUPS, as with both the parallel backend can be run as normal user
and that is what CUPS does with these permissions. With 700 it can be
only run as root and than CUPS runs it as root. And seeing your tests
the parallel
