Many businesses, mine included, still have many of the Laserjet 4X series printers that are attached to linux boxes via parallel ports. With serial and parallel print support completely removed from cups 1.6, what will need to be done to insure these setups are able to continue to do their job? I have used --ignore for now to prevent cups upgrade on these machines, but I need to know if the cups-filters will provide seamless print service for these machines before allowing the cups upgrade. I have looked at the wiki and it doesn't mention anything new about parallel setup. Does anybody know what will need to be done with cups 1.6 to get this set up? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
