This was a problem in Dapper a while ago but should be fixed now. What versions of cupsys, gnome-cups-manager and cupsys-driver-gutenprint are on your system? You can see these by entering the following commands in a terminal: $ apt-cache show cupsys $ apt-cache show gnome-cups-manager $ apt-cache show cupsys-driver-gutenprint
I can add the Epson Stylus C88 printer using LPT#1 port (just as test since I don't have this printer) on my up to date Dapper 20060522. -- After successfully completing the "Add Printer" setup, no printer is added https://launchpad.net/bugs/41423 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
