I was finally able to use my USB-> parallel adapter to connect to the HP Printer. I can now print but am missing features that used to be there before, or I have missed something. When printing with iceweasel the printer options no longer have a 'Print Selected' box. The File/Page Setup no longer has the setting for headers or footers. Am I missing package or has printing gone backwards? I am used to upgrading to 'better' features so maybe I am spoiled.
The Headers/footers are again working but I have not found what may have been upgraded to fix this.
my Print/)Options Tab is missing the print selections here on wheezy and ISTR it is missing on Stable & Sid here as well. I will have to check that again though.
Print/Options Print Selections is still missing
But I'm using GNOME and this can be make a difference. What DE/WM are you using?FluxboxOne more "feature' I notice is that I have to unplug, then re-plugn the USB-> parallel nearly every time I print a document or cups can't find the printer. That is a real PITA!
An upgrade of uuid-runtime "MAY" have solved this. I was able to print 3 different files without haveing to un-plug/re-plug the USB cable.
Fingers crossed that these problems were/are on someone's radar. Thanks for the help Camaleon Best Regards Wayne
