[Bug 29050] Re: cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer

[Julian Robbins]

Hi I can confirm with dapper flight 5 and with all updates with that with my HP laserjet 5L Parallel, it isn't detected automatically by Gnome-CUPS manager. The device is picked up in dmesg.
This printer did also work fine in hoary, breezy without issues.

I also have a USB Epson Stylus Color 680 which was picked up fine with my current dapper setup.

I havent tried any manual fixes, as its way past my bedtime, but will help bug check if reqd !
