usb printer "gone" after apt-get dist-upgrade?
This is getting to me,
Had such a hard time installing the usb printer here, and last it
was working was before I did apt-get dist-upgrade.
Now Cups tells me that there is no device /dev/usb/lp0.
So most likely the solution is somewhere else, but I would like to know
if apt-get dist-upgrade can have such effects, that printers don't work
afterwards?
/etc/printcap entry
# /etc/printcap: printer capability database. See printcap(5).
# You can use the filter entries df, tf, cf, gf etc. for
# your own filters. See /etc/filter.ps, /etc/filter.pcl and
# the printcap(5) manual page for further details.

Thanks for any hints :-)

The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-)
