Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cupsys
In ubuntu 7.04, lpd printing is no longer possible, and it isn't
possible to add lpd printers. This has been the case since Saturday
10/3/07. Cups was updated, and my lpd printer would no longer print
saying "paused pending specific". I know of at least two other users
whohave the same problem. Since the occurence of the problem, foomatic
gui gave an error of "cannot read printer database". Using gnome-cups-
add to add a printer goes through all the steps to add the printer, yet
when you click Apply, the window disappears very quickly, and the
printer is not added. The printer I have is an Epson Stylus D88. I was
trying to add the host name 192.168.123.254 with a queue name of lpUSB0.
The printer was working fine with Ubuntu up to that point although there
was another issue of a 5cm gap appearing at the top of pages but that is
a separate issue.
