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

[xtknight]

Well, I'm having other troubles getting my Deskjet 722C to work out of
the box.  It looks like the pnm2ppa conf file problem (Version variable
with HP printers) was fixed, but my printer is not detected at all in
Edgy!  Turns out I had to do 'sudo modprobe ppdev' before I did 'gksu
gnome-cups-add'.  Then, it finally detected my local parallel port
printer.
