Description S Dumke 2011-07-24 18:35:36 CEST

Description of problem:
I can't get run a parallel-port printer via pp-usb-adapter. After some research on the problem, I figured out that the "usblp" module is missing in the mageia kernel

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 1 kernel 2.6.38.7

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Thomas, could you please take a look why usblp is still disabled? It is need for some proprietary drivers as well as for usb-parallell-adapters as in this case. CUPS should be able to handle both cases, we have a patch for that.

It was disabled since the cups problem started, and no-one has requested it to be enabled again after cups was fixed (until now)

I have re-enabled it in SVN for all kernels in Mageia 1 and Cauldron

I will push a new kernel to core/updates_testing later this week

There is now a kernel-2.6.38.8-7.mga available in core/updates_testing.

Please test that is works for you.
