Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
I tried to add a printer using a USB-to-parallel adapter, by using the
URI file:/dev/usb/lp0. The printer manager (system-config-printer)
failed with the message "client-error-not-possible".
/var/log/cups/cups/error_log didn't contain anything useful.
I changed the logging level to "debug", and tried again. I found this
message in the log:
D [21/Jul/2010:22:57:54 +0930] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer client-error-not-
possible: File device URIs have been disabled! To enable, see the
FileDevice directive in "/etc/cups/cupsd.conf".
It would be nice if this message appeared with the logging level set to
the default "warn" (or better still, appeared in the the printer
manager).
I'm using cups 1.4.3-1ubuntu1 on Lucid.
