Same problem here but not on all printers. I have a laser QMS colorprinter on the network and a local hp950c on the parallel port. The laser was still working fine after the CUPS update but the hp950 reported 'printing is disabled" with lpc status. I have removed the hp950 and re-installed it on the interface others: hp:/par/DESKJET_950C?device=/dev/parport0 NOT on Parallel LPT #1 ! That didn't work. regards, Lieven
