Thank you for the reply. A brief history: I tried a Dapper cd a few months ago - no printer support. Then an Edgy - both printers supported. Then, Feisty - again both printers supported. Used WUBI for a while - no problems at all but maybe the "real" drivers were being used? Then, I did a clean install of Feisty, ie wiped the hard drive and installed. Two days later, updated to kernel 16 - printers went haywire. Deleted 16 and went back to 15. Now, Canon works all the time but the HP appears and disappears as described above. I am 80% positive my parallel port is OK bc it would just be too much of a coincidence. However, this is a six year old comp so anything is possible. The Hp still shows up with Edgy and Feisty Live CD. I don't have another OS at the moment although I am getting a new comp soon I hope. I really believe there is a bug somewhere as just from perusing the forum, several folks are having similar problems. Of course, it could be hardware - I just don't have any way of checking it at the moment. Any help is very much appreciated. Again, thanks for the quick reply and help!
