This is what I do in general to setup printing: Turn on printer. dmesg to see if printer is detected and lsusb to list it. usblp was modprobed, so kernel side should be okay.
Then start a Tool to configure cups. This is kprinter or browser->http://localhost:631. Add a printer.You are offered a list of backends: Normally there should be USB, Parallel, SCSI etc. None of them is listed, just SAMBA. Without those local backenda NO printing is possible. ANYWAY: I just found the bug. /usr/lib/cups/backend consists only : bluetooth,hp, hpfax and ../../../bin/smbclient. So I copied /usr/lib/cups/backend-available/usb to /usr/lib/cups/backend and everything works like expected. Looks like the cupsys package isn't copying/linking all backends. Hope this helps to reproduce and fix the bug. -- No local (e.g.:USB, SCSI, Parallel) backends available https://launchpad.net/bugs/89629 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
