Public bug reported: Cups is unable to define a USB printer. When you click on System Settings->Printer Configuration then click on New Printer followed by New Network Printer you see a nice connection list. It shows your LPT1, your serial ports, then gives you a lot of network type printing options.
There is no search done for USB. Clicking on "other" simply throws up a URL entry line which requires an operating system expert to manually enter. rol...@logikaldesktop:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release: 9.10 The Web interface doesn't show any USB printers either. ** Affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Karmic] unable to define USB printer in Cups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422232 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
