Has anyone tried this new version of CUPS with a locally connected printer? I can print fine by ethernet to a nearby printer at socket://192.168.0.151:9100 but I could not use my long-term configuration for a printer connected at /dev/lpt0 It doesn't receive anything I send it now even though it is recognized in dmesg. Both printers are postscript. I tried re-creating the configuration for the local printer using the CUPS webadmin page and there is no option for a locally connected printer. I tried manually entering the location as parallel://dev/lpt0 and the local printer still cannot receive anything. $ dmesg | grep lpt lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 lpt0: Polled port "/usr/local/libexec/cups/backend/parallel failed" then "Unable to open parallel port device file "/dev/lpt0": Permission denied" --- Thanks, Rick Voland rpvoland@spamcop.net
