no way it does not create any "/dev/usb/lpx" but a new "/dev/lpx" with the ubuntu live cd it created /dev/lp1 with my installed ubuntu 13.10 it created /dev/lp0
therefore I typed this command: lpadmin -p test -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -P /etc/cups/ppd/texto.ppd (or /dev/lp1) the jobs stay in the "test" queue and never get printed, reconnecting does not make any change fyi, I copy here the software versions: ubuntu 13.10 live cd kernel 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu x86_64 gnome-session 3.9.90 CUPS 1.7rc1 ubuntu 13.10 instakked and updated kernel 3.11.0-13-generic #20-Ubuntu x86_64 gnome-session 3.9.90 CUPS 1.7rc1 I get the feeling that the problem is cups does it make sense to try CUPS 1.5.4 with ubuntu 13.10 ? if so, do you know how can I reverse cups to that version?
