USB finds printer but cannot print (Lucid Lynx)
I am trying to print on an HP Laserjet 5L using a USB-to-parallel cable adapter.
I am using a Compaq Presario C700 laptop running an Intel Pentium double core processor and Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) and Linux Kernel 2.6.32-24. The system recognizes the printer but then the print jobs just pile up on the queue.
I can print OK with the same HP printer and the same USB cable with another laptop (Compaq Presario 2175 using AMD AthlonXP2400) running Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) Linux Kernel 2.6.32-26 but this one, I don't know if it makes any difference, also has a parallel port and a serial port as well as the USB port. This computer has no problem printing either with the parallel port or USB port.
Help!
