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

Description:
HP Deskjet 840C connected to LPT #1, on a Flight 5 Installation (with
all updates applied at 20th March) is not automatically detected.

What I did:
Connect HP DeskJet 840C to parallel port

System -> Administration -> Printing -> New Printer

Note that "No Printers Detected" shows up in the box below "Use a
Detected Printer"

The Printer works if you manually select LPT #1, then tell the program
that it's an HP Deskjet 840C and select the CUPS+Gutenprint V5.0.0-rc2
driver.
