According to the steps you describe on the forums this looks like a duplicate of bug #29050. This bug was fixed in Feisty (cupsys 1.2.7-4ubuntu1), a workaround for Dapper and Edgy is to add ppdev to /etc/modules and then reboot. Are you using Edgy or Feisty at this moment? If you use Edgy do you still need to restart hplip with the above workaround?
cupsys (1.2.7-4ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low * debian/cupsys.init.d: Fixed parallel port module loading in the init script, the "ppdev" module got only loaded when the "lp" module was not loaded yet (closes LP#29050). -- Till Kamppeter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 6 Feb 2007 13:22:06 +0000 -- Hp 712c does not physically print https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/57801 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
