The problem was that hal_lpadmin has used different methods to determine whether for a printer reported by HAL there is already a print queue set up for the plugging and unplugging cases
Please replace your file /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal_lpadmin by the attached file and make it executable with sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal_lpadmin Then unplug and replug your printer. Does it get re-enabled now? ** Attachment added: "hal_lpadmin which uses same method for finding CUPS queues on plug and unplug" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23842472/hal_lpadmin -- USB printer not re-enabled when it is turned on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139317 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
