Public bug reported:
Feisty Fawn: When trying to add a new printer (xubuntu printing dialog
or cupsys web interface), my usb printer (powered on and recognized by
the kernel per /var/log/messages) does not appear as a choice. A user on
forums suggested to add cupsys to the plugdev group, and with this
workaround I was able to see the printer (epson cx4200).
However, even with the workaround, I got a dialog box saying that I
needed to add the foomatic-gutenprint package. I could find no package
by this name, but I added several foomatic and gutenprint db packages.
Not sure which one did the trick.
Now printer is working.
My feisty system is completely up to date except for held packages. I
have cupsys-1.2.7-1ubuntu2 installed. Running kernel 2.6.20-2-generic
with workaround for the initramfs-tools problem.
