I understand what you mean. actually I just setup Lprng and it is fully working : locally from lpr - not configurable from KDE/Systemsettings but I don't really care as this is on my firewall - then from my main computer with CUPS 1.6.1, I configured a remote printer :
lpd://10.0.0.1/lp I just printed the test page from CUPS successfully, and 2 pages from another document. Unfortunately I don't have any further PCI slot available in my main computer for a true parallel port card. So I have right now a very good workaround. As far as I remember, before sending my first post for this case, I must have tried to print to parallel:/dev/usb/lp0 - and I am almost sure it did not work. Except if this would be very useful to you, as setting up Lprng has required some significant efforts, I would not run this test again right now. Can I ask if you have a clear roadmap leading someday to PL2305 being fully supported by Cups+libusb ? i understand that it must not be a top priority device, but then, there are still some old printers around ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1258919 Title: 067b:2305 printing issue with parallel-to-usb adapter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1258919/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
