I have uploaded a new version of the CUPS package (1.5.0-8ubuntu7~ppa2) to my PPA now. It will take some time to appear there. As soon as it arrives and got built by our build servers, update your system, and try again.
After the update, remove any broken queues for your printer, and then with the printer turned on and connected to the parallel end of the adapter unplug the USB end from your computer and re-plug it. You will get a pop-up that your computer tries to create a print queue, probably also telling that the queue will be for an unknown printer. Perhaps even system-config-printer will pop up automatically for manual selection of your printer's make and model. Select it and do not simply overtake the "Generic text-only printer" default. If system-config-printer does not open by itself, start it manually (Gear at the upper right of the desktop and "Printers" in the menu), click the button to add a new printer, and from the autodetected printers choose the unknown printer. After that choose make and model manually and you should be able to print. Please tell here whether all works correctly. Thank you in advance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910272 Title: USB->Parallel adapter produces crappy device URI and CUPS "usb" backend cannot cope with it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/910272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
