Bug#296822: kcontrol: URI for Printer on parallel port is broken
Package: kcontrol
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: important
I used the Add Printer Wizard in kcontrol to set up my printer
(if it matters, it is a Kyocera Mita FS1010). The printer is
connected via the parallel port. After selecting "Local printer
(parallel, serial, USB)" the wizard continues to the Local Port
Selection Panel. If I select
Local System -> Parallel -> Parallel Port #1
the URI field shows
"parallel:/dev/unknown-parallel0" I hardly noticed that this is
nonsense. I just noticed that my printer did not work at all. After
changing the URI to "parallel:/dev/lp0" my printer worked. For normal
users this will be a serious showstopper.
Greetings
Ronny
