Lukas, Jon, can you tell how you connected your printer to your computer (USB, parallel, ethernet, ...)?
If your printer is on the parallel port, have it turned on while booting and run cat /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport*/autoprobe* If you do not have output, do (printer must be connected and turned on): sudo rmmod lp sudo rmmod ppdev sudo rmmod parport_pc sudo rmmod parport sudo modprobe lp Please post the screen output of each command here and continue even if a command gives an error message. Repeat the command cat /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport*/autoprobe* Check your BIOS. Is your parallel port in a bi-directional mode? If your printer is on USB, post /proc/bus/usb/devices and the output of sudo lsusb -vvv and sudo lsmod Lukas, can you also post your "lpinfo -v"? What you see are two problems: 1. Your printer is not auto-detected 2. A non-existing HP Fax device is detected (to see that this is independent, turn off/disconnect your printer and the HP Fax still gets detected). So in reality this bug report should be split into two. (2) is fixed upstream by HPLIP 1.6.9. I am currently waiting for the Debian folks picking it up. -- Incorrectly Detects HP Fax device https://launchpad.net/bugs/62506 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
