Look at some of the suggestions in this thread. They were not helpful to me. I was only able to resolve the issue by preforming a fresh install. I needed to get my printer working quickly, I didn't have the time to wait for a suggestion that worked, so I burned a new iso disc and installed it

Please tell me how to set up my parallel port connected laser printer on Jaunty Jackalope. Thanks! I used the ubuntu-bug cups program to upload the information about my system.
