Public bug reported:
To me, this is a serious problem that exists in Ubuntu 10.04 (also in
9.10). When I try to add a new printer that is connected via USB cable,
the "New Printer" popup screen only shows three options for adding local
printers: 1) "LPT #1" for parallel connection, 2) "Serial Port #1" for
serial connection, and 3) "Other" for devices with a URI. The option to
add a local USB printer does not show up. In earlier releases, such as
8.10 and 8.04, the option to add a USB printer does appear, and I have
had no problems doing so. But, for some reason or another, Ubuntu 9.10
and 10.04 does not properly recognize the existence of USB printers
anymore. It does not recognize my HP Laserjet 4 and probably fails to
recognize other USB printers, too.
