bad news :-( the udev update was supposed to fix several USB problems.. can you please attach the output of: $ tree /dev with both versions of udev? I know, it's a bit of work, but every fedora user will benefit from it. Thanks *** Bug 251212 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 251211 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 160890 [details]

quickfix: # cat >/etc/udev/makedev.d/60-lp-quickfix.nodes <<EOF lp0 lp1 lp2 lp3 EOF There appears to be two updates that together stop printing if your using a parallel port printer. I found my printer a Brother HL-1440 could no longer be used. And I discovered that the GUI Printer setup and the Cups device at http://localhost:631/ will not set up a parallel port printer that works. I replaced both udev and cups which were updated on my computer with the original versions from the f7 dvd. This fixed the problem and now I find lp0 as a choice on both devices to set up a printer. I can not tell if it was the cups or the udev update that stopped my printing. It looks like this is because of a change in /etc/sysconfig/modules/udev-stw.modules that is no longer calling for the parport and lp modules to be loaded. On my box at least, parport and parport_pc are automatically loaded but lp is not. After loading the lp module, /dev/lp0 was created and I was able to print. I've just recapitulated the problem. Updated cups to 1.2.12-1 and udev to 113-8. service restart cups (without reboot) and printing to lp0 still works. Reboot - no printing Go back to udev 106-4, reboot. Printing works again. Therefore, it's pretty clear that it's udev and not cups. I've also created .txt files from 'tree /dev' for each version will also add output from: diff -u udev-106-4.txt udev-113-8.txt > diff_udevs106-113 Created attachment 160903 [details]
output of diff -u for tree /dev for each udev version

name change to reflect plain text type
no more diffs please.. erratum is in the queue.. it's only lp* which is missing in /etc/udev/makedev.d/50-udev.nodes udev-113-9.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
