Comment 5 for bug 1184725

I haven't been able to test this on 14.04. I use 14.04 now and I believe the parallel port was disabled in HP driver long ago. If the parallel port is still disabled then I would recommend filing this bug as an hp problem.

Anyway I can't generate a cups report because it doesn't use cups(only hplip is supported). I thought it was very strange that a parallel port printer would no longer work because the driver doesn't support parallel ports. Ideally we, as a community, could just add some kind of cups driver for this printer an bypass HP altogether. In hteory, everything is there and works, plus it has worked flawlessly until HP droppedthe parallel port.
