Samsung ML4500 Parallel printer on USB port only worked under Karmic by adding printer using URI of: parallel:/dev/usb/lp0
On upgrading to Lucid, printer worked after deleting and re-installing printer in System > Printing. Than after recent upgrade, system doesn't see printer, says "printer may not be connected". Any help appreciated. You can help the environment if you can help me figure this out, as I won't have to throw it away and buy a new one.
Don't really understand anything below, but posted in case it helps.
