Hi Till, thanks for the response. Did 'sudo chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel' and it had no effect. Did 'sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel' and the Ubuntu Cups works perfectly.
I have one printer with USB that works fine. I have one parallel printer which now works fine thanks to changing the CUPS backend parallel file to 777 instead of the default 755. Loathe to get rid of a perfectly good working printer just because of a permissions issue. I'm happy now.
