[Bug 29050] Re: cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer
The problem here was that CUPS checked whether the lp module was loaded, and if not, it loaded both lp and ppdev. With lp already loaded at CUPS startup (the usual case), CUPS did not load any module, so ppdev was not loaded again. The usual case is that the lp module is loaded at boot because it is present in /etc/modules. Simple workaround: removing lp from /etc/modules and rebooting fixes parallel printer autodetection for Dapper and Edgy. -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The original poster has reported the bug of parallel printers not being detected and that is not fixed yet. It is most probably a kernel problem.

[Bug 29050] Re: cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer
Hmm yes, I may have an idea ! :-) Try loading the ppdev module (sudo modprobe ppdev). I had forgotten about this module, which I had added manually, because of a program I installed, which required this module so as to gain (direct) control of the parallel port pins (not for printing). It creates /dev/parport0. I fiddled with it a bit, removing and inserting this modules a few times, it seems to indeed be responsible for my good luck, so give it a try !

[Bug 29050] Re: cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer
As Mark's pictures posted March 6 show, the backend did recognize all of our printers in Breezy (or, in my case, Hoary - they were already installed when I dist-upgraded to Breezy). -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Martin - I installed the 1.1.99.rc2-0ubuntu2 cupsys, rebooted and got the same thing - no printer found. -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I think this is upstream, as I have tried the latest Simply MEPIS version 6.0 pre-alpha and got the same result as Dapper -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Still a no go with my HP Deskjet 722c which is using the foomatic filters, the printer works fine, but it's not automatically detected. -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 29050] Re: cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer
Matthias, Yes, I do have those versions of cupsys and hplip-ppds. I'm now able to manually configure my printer (as before). It still doesn't recognize the printer, as Breezy did, though. -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 29050] Re: cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer
Hi I can confirm with dapper flight 5 and with all updates with that with my HP laserjet 5L Parallel, it isn't detected automatically by Gnome-CUPS manager. The device is picked up in dmesg. This printer did also work fine in hoary, breezy without issues. I also have a USB Epson Stylus Color 680 which was picked up fine with my current dapper setup. I havent tried any manual fixes, as its way past my bedtime, but will help bug check if reqd ! ** Changed in: cupsys (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal = Major -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 29050] Re: cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer
Martin - that's correct. Quickest way to clarify would be to check the AddPrinter dialogue screenshots I previously attached, but: In Breezy, when I selected Add a printer, my LaserJet-6p was automatically identified under Use a detected printer. In Dapper, the same action yields no printer detected - I have to manually select the port (LPT #1). Then, the driver selection proceeds the same as under Breezy. One other note - gnome-cups-manager is VERY slow. I just opened it and selected Properties for my default printer and it took c. 30 seconds to bring up the properties dialogue. I'd thought it sluggish before but this is a new level of slow. Don't know if it's related or not... -- cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
