Description Inger Karin Haarbye 2001-01-16 13:06:38 UTC

It seems to only try to detect /dev/lp* and not /dev/usb/lp*. I have to
manually enter the device. More and more new printers are with
usb-connection. 
On the other hand - on my box with no parport-devices connected at all, it
still detects a /dev/lp0 printer.

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release

Comment 2 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-02-01 21:16:08 UTC

Two points:
a) LPRngTool is a dead end path. I toyed with it, but ended up replacing it.
b) printconf-qui (the replacement), does search USB devices.
