I have modified the cups package now to also load parport_pc when starting the CUPS daemon, not only lp and ppdev. This change I have committed to Debian's BZR repository for CUPS, and this is at least a workaround for the problem reported here. It shgould appear in Debian unstable and Maverick soon.
I suggest this also as an SRU for Lucid LTS. In Lucid it is perhaps too invasive to fix this problem via the kernel or udev. ** Also affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Also affects: cups (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: udev (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: cups (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Committed ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: udev (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: New => Invalid -- Cannot set up parallel port printer on Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369850 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
