Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
NOTE: I'm guessing as to the faulty package!

Bring up System>Administration>Printing>New Printer, Local Printer is
already selected but "Use a detected printer" is greyed out with "No
printers detected" in the selection box.  "Use another printer by
specifying a port" is selected but the drop-down box contains "hp
no_device_found".  I can manually configure the printer (LPT #1, HPLIP,
HP LaserJet 6p driver) but this setup was recognized by 5.10 (Breezy)
straightaway.

It's an HP LaserJet 6p connected to the only parallel port on my Intel
D865GLC motherboard. Dapper is fully upgraded as of c. 1 hour ago.
