Hi,
I didn't find a post concerning my problem on your site.
I'll try to explain it.
I have cups 1.4.1, using mandriva 2010 x64.
And the system can't find my printer HP710C, which is connected on my parallel port.
It used to work with mandriva 2008 and now the system is not able to see my printer.
I tried to switch on/off the printer, no result.
Below, some outputs:
[root at localhost mdv64]# /usr/lib64/cups/backend/parallel
[root at localhost mdv64]#
# as you can see, there is no output for the previous command
[root at localhost mdv64]# /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel
[root at localhost mdv64]#
# as you can see, there is no output for that command, I tried with lib64 & lib
[root at localhost mdv64]# cd /usr/lib64/cups/backend/
[root at localhost backend]# ll
total 300 <I snap some lines>
