Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better.
What you means by "the system crash", is there an error message?
That said, I think I remember having heard of something similar (some years
ago).
LPT1 does not broadcast any message (as far as I know) when you plug something
on it.
And there is no easy way to identify the peripheral like on the PCI BUS.
So, *I think* when you configure an LPT1 the system add a new kernel module in
/etc/modules.
And that modules must poll the printer to find it.
Badly design modules can wait endlessly until it found it.
Could you attach the result of "sudo cat /etc/modules" run in a terminal window
to this bug please?
Or at least tell us the mark and model of the printer you added.
** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
