Comment 44 for bug 369850

Look at some of the suggestions in this thread.  They were not helpful to me.  I was only able to resolve the issue by preforming a fresh install.  I needed to get my printer working quickly, I didn't have the time to wait for a suggestion that worked, so I burned a new iso disc and installed it

Bug description:
Binary package hint: cups

I have just done a clean upgrade from Intrepid Ibex to Jaunty Jackalope (i.e., I downloaded the CD .iso file, burned it to CD and then did a clean install over the existing Ubuntu installation).

I was able to set up my parallel port connected laser printer on Intrepid Ibex, but Jaunty Jackalope seems not to give me a choice of Parallal port when I try to set up my printer.

Please tell me how to set up my parallel port connected laser printer on Jaunty Jackalope.

Thanks!
