Oops, forgot to restart CUPS. Done... Well, I stopped CUPS entirely, made sure the change was in the file and restarted CUPS. I see the following message in /var/log/cups/error_log:
E [17/Jun/2006:18:30:29 -0600] Unable to open output file "file:///dev/usblp0" - No such file or directory. $ ls -l /dev/usblp0 ls: /dev/usblp0: No such file or directory However, $ ls -l /dev/usb/lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 Apr 1 2005 /dev/usb/lp0 So I updated printers.conf and restarted CUPS. This shows up in the error_log: E [17/Jun/2006:18:33:41 -0600] Unable to open output file "file:///dev/usb/lp0" - No such device. I tried using what I had in the original from my Breezy install, usb://Samsung/ML1740, but that doesn't seem to be recognized either, but at least CUPS starts up... not that the printer is working yet. I can't even begin to express how frustrating this is. My printer was working flawlessly in Breezy for many months, even working as a network printer to my Windows systems. While I need this working again ASAP (required for some of the work I do), I can't spend all night banging my head on the wall about it. Something was broken between package versions and it needs to be fixed. -- Samsung ML1740 Printer not recognized in Dapper https://launchpad.net/bugs/49802 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
