This is due to the changes of the new CUPS 1.4.0 in Karmic. The problem
is caused by a new USB CUPS backend. For this backend the "usblp" kernel
module must be unloaded.
Edit /etc//etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf adding a line
blacklist usblp
and then run the command
sudo rmmod usblp
Now CUPS should see your USB printers again.
** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- Local printer not found (epson stylus c66)
+ usblp Kernel module needs to be removed for USB printers to work with CUPS
1.4.x
