Perhaps the worst thing about this bug is there is NO indication of what has gone wrong... if you dist-upgrade from edgy to feisty, then your USB printer will stop working and quite mysteriously.
When you try to print to a USB printer that CUPS does not have permissions to access, the graphical utilities give ZERO indication of the problem: gnome-cups-icon simply says that the print job is "paused". The only way to discover the problem is to inspect the log files: E [20/Jan/2007:21:11:54 -0500] PID 27330 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel) stopped with status 1! E [20/Jan/2007:21:11:54 -0500] [Job 75] Unable to open parallel port device file "/dev/usblp0": Permission denied E [20/Jan/2007:21:11:54 -0500] [Job 75] No %%BoundingBox: comment in header! It would be a big improvement if the Gnome CUPS utilities notified the user of this problem. -- [Feisty]At this moment can't detected printers https://launchpad.net/bugs/80468 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
