Why then, with the same printer, connected to the same laptop, running Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04, does the printer work? Something changed between the Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 release and Kubuntu Karmic 9.10, either with the main OS or with something in KDE. My printer issue appeared in Karmic and continues in Lucid.
I'd be more than happy to boot into Jaunty and run the same five commands and post the results for you. -- Proudly running Linux since 2007 Kubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 Kubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 Kubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 -- Cups on Ubuntu Karmic does not recognize USB printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/468701 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
