I thought that the ubuntu-bugs cups program already did that.

However, here's the output requested from the Parallel Port section:

br...@pinkroom:~$ lsmod | grep lp
lp                     17156  0 
parport                42220  2 ppdev,lp
br...@pinkroom:~$ lsmod | grep ppdev

parport                42220  2 ppdev,lp
br...@pinkroom:~$ dmesg | grep par

When I bring up the New Printer dialog, the only devices listed are:

Serial Port #1
Other
> Network Printer

Nothing that indicates that a parallel port printer can be selected.


** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New
