I am sorry but i must ask if there is hope that this problem is fixed in the next time? I have 4 PC's with identical mainboard using for office and it makes no sense for me running them with an OS that cannot print. The parallel port is also used for programming microcontrollers. It's more than nasty to boot Debian stable when you must print. At this time i am planning to migrate to Kubuntu the other PC's - but not without a printing capability ...
Besides - there are more and more problems with the drivers of good old interfaces. In Debian i already have to miss the analog joystick port, which is very usefull for tricky inputs of simple signals to the PC. And this interfaces are still existing on million of mainboards and PCI-cards! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682434 Title: Parallel Port /dev/lp0 does not work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
