https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/436495 Something in this bug report made me look at my config: "Eventually after I figured out that /dev/usb/lp0 was missing, I loaded usblp, but even with that my printer is not detected anymore. So anyone who deleted the old configuration in the mean time to let it re-detect, will have a problem now. Something like "parallel:/dev/usb/lp0" is not obvious to people not configuring printers each and every day."
So I tried loading a printer from sysyem>administration>printing add printer pick lpt#1 followed all the steps then when it was done right click on my new printer and in the device uri: add parallel:/dev/usb/lp0 It worked, I can print again. lpinfo -v serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200 network socket direct scsi network http network lpd network smb network beh network ipp direct parallel:/dev/lp0 direct hp direct hpfax ls -l /dev/usb/lp* crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 2009-10-26 16:46 /dev/usb/lp0 ls -l /dev/bus/usb/*/* crw-rw---- 1 root lp 189, 898 2009-10-26 16:46 /dev/bus/usb/008/003 sudo lsusb Bus 008 Device 003: ID 1a86:7584 Unknown Its not being detected but it is printing. -- Karmic: Cups + usblp + segfault in libc-2.10.1.so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461020 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
