Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
/etc/cups/interfaces does not exist by default in Ubuntu (at least not
in Karmic or Jaunty). Normally, one should be able to add interface
scripts for SysV queues with something like:
lpadmin -p myprinter -E -i /path/to/my/interface/script -v
parallel:/dev/lp
However, this fails with "lpadmin: Unable to copy interface script - No
such file or directory!". An strace on the process reveals that "No
such file or directory" in fact refers to the attempt to copy the
interface script into /etc/cups/interfaces.
If I create /etc/cups/interfaces (which exists on every other platform
using CUPS), then the lpadmin command succeeds.
/etc/cups/interfaces should be created by default when cups is
installed.
