I recently posted about my parallel to usb cable causing lots of 
problems on my system - and since I received no help there I decided to 
try something else.

I borrowed a serial to usb cable. I was able to print a test page by:
sudo echo "Printer Test" > /dev/ttyUSB0

but I havent been able to print any other way.

In cups I changed the uri to usb://dev/ttyUSB0 and then I ran the 
configure script but nothing changed.

What else can I try?
