Bug#347591: kernel-image-2.6.8-686_2.6.8-16sarge1_i386.deb bug rreport

[joespam <joespam@dslextreme.com>]

package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686_2.6.8-16sarge1_i386.deb

version:Debian 1:3.3.5-13

Printer was running fine under CUPS using parallel port when using
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686_2.6.8-16_i386.deb  (Debian 1:3.3.5-12).  When I
upgraded kernel using kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686_2.6.8-16sarge1_i386.deb,
(Debian 1:3.3.6-13) the printer stopped working.  In order to restart
the printer I had to reinstall the prior version of the kernel using
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686_2.6.8-16_i386.deb AND reinstall the foomatic
packages.  When I then used CUPS via "localhost:631", and attempted to
reinstall the printer on the parallel port (/dev/lp0), CUPS described
the printer as  "Device URI: parallel:/dev/unknown-parallel0".  In the
file "/etc/cups/printers.conf" I had to manually change the URI to
"/dev/lp0" before I could get the printer to operate properly.
