LPT! printer in Ubuntu 12.10

This should have been the easiest thing in the world, but when I connected a parallel printer (HP Laserjet 4100) Ubuntu 12.10 did not see it.
Almost every time Ubuntu comes out with a new version, CUPS does not see the printer, and eventually something is updated, and then everything is OK.

However, until that miracle happens here is my question:
What do I enter in the url field of CUPS?  I tried several things: LPT1://, lpd, etc., but none worked.
Any ideas?
