well, lenny doesn't sound so good :)

I see you are using parallel port.
Im no expert, ok, I just now did parallel print.

Can CUPS still see your printer there?

Check it, ok, right here: http://localhost.localdomain:631/admin

So, when you click 'Find New Printers' make sure it does.

Since lenny broke cups, maybe good to go see the debian people and
ask them why they broke it.

p.s. I never trust updates, but thats just me

have a good day in Munich
