I built a USB stick to run version 10.10. I immediately ran Update Manager and installed the updates at that time. I have an Epson CX7400 All in One Printer/Scanner. The system recognised both the printer and scanner at start. After I built the stick the CX7400 worked fine. A few days ago I ran update Manager and installed a number of updates (including updates to CUPS). Now the system doesn't recognise the printer, but it does still recognise the scanner.
If I go to System, Administration, Printing the Add button is greyed out and can't be used. At the bottom of the Printing - local host window it says "Not Connected". I know it is connected or the Scanner wouldn't work. Not recognising the printer may be coincidental to the updates but I'm suspicious they are related.
My system is dual boot to Windows XP Pro. The printer works fine in Windows, so I know it's not a connection or printer problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
