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

[Mark W. Tomlinson]

Vincent - loading ppdev makes my LaserJet visible as well.  It now "magically" appears when add printer is run.  Hmm - I wonder if cupsys used to more closely monitor specific signals from the parallel port?

Oh, well - as you say, it's a workaround, not a fix.  However, it may provide important information for the upstream folks (I see Martin has already passed it on to 'em).

Thanks, Vincent!
