I had the issue on two separate systems. Both are using paralell port printers
via usb adapter cable.
When using cups 1.4.4-7 all is working fine. After upgrading to wheezy with
cups 1.5.3-5 the printing does not work.
The solution is to manually install/downgrade the related packages and freeze
them to not upgrade in future.
This operation takes a lot of time and the situation is annoying. However
finally with the older version everything is working fine and all of us are
happy!
For pitty I can not put more time into debugging this and would ask
responsible people to investigate and solve the issue.
thanks in advance and regards
E.
