We highly recommend not to buy and use these adapters to get old parallel-only printers connected to newer computers without parallel port. Please try the following alternatives:<<BR>>
- 1. First check whether the printer is really parallel-only. If it has a USB or Ethernet port, use one of these for connection. If you do not have free USB ports on your computer, use USB hub.
+ 1. First check whether the printer is really parallel-only. If it has a USB or Ethernet port, use one of these for connection. If you do not have free USB ports on your computer, use a USB hub.
2. If you have already a USB -> Parallel adapter and you have an All-in-One router (or NAS) with USB port, try to connect the printer with the adapter there, if the router has print server functionality, your printer should appear as a network printer.
3. You can also get an old JetDirect (or compatible) network print box on eBay or Amazon for cheap, which also makes a network printer out of your printer.
+ 4. At least with USB -> Parallel adapters you can use with a Ubuntu machine proceeding as follows: Make sure that there is no other native USB printer or printer with USB -> Parallel adapter connected. This works only with one single printer on USB. Set up the printer with the device URI "parallel:/dev/usb/lp0", either by selecting "Enter URI" on the first page of the add-printer wizard of system-config-printer, or by right-clicking the icon of an existing (non-working) print queue, choosing "Properties" in the pop-up menu, and editing the "Device URI" field in the properties dialog. Note that you have to select printer manufacturer and model manually when adding a new printer.
Note that if the alternative you choose makes a network printer out of your printer that system-config-printer should find it as a network printer (wait for the scan to finish when the spinning icon disappears, then open the "Network printer" section). Perhaps you will need to choose make and model of the printer manually to finish the setup.<<BR>>

Subject: Papercut in the latest release are now supported
Message-ID: <5378B254.1090104@gmail.com>
Because a papercut rarely gets accepted into a release that is not the
future, in the past I decided the One Hundred Papercuts
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One%20Hundred%20Papercuts> project to only work
in flaws affecting the future version.
But recently I have measured that it's very probable a bug which affects
the latest release to affect the future one. The reason for that is most
defects are discovered after a version being launched.
As a consequence, the project is now supporting both the latest and
future releases.
Regards.

The wiki <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When> says:
Stable release updates will, in general, only be issued in order to
fix high-impact bugs.
Papercuts don't fit that!
Moreover; I think the point is figuring out how to make every release
more stable than the previous, while providing basic functionality to
old ones. So we can get to a point where every published version is stable.
This cannot be done by fire fighting defects in previous editions or by
using software deeply tested every two years. But rather on making short
iterations through processes, observing how value flows through them,
and continuously being untethering paths; so the quality management
process can rapidly auto-heal any software defect.
Long term stable Linux releases are fantasies. What really happens is
these are benefiting from the stabilisation work done by other less
stable distributions, or they would never exist.
Continuous Improvement = (Small + Short + Continuous) Improvement

I would suggest any bug fix, papercut or not, has a chance of making it in to any current supported release of Ubuntu
through the SRU process. For many folks, the "latest" release of Ubuntu is the most recent stable LTS version, which
happens to be 12.04 LTS until 14.04.01 LTS is released.
Perhaps you should consider including all supported versions of Ubuntu in the Papercuts project, or at least all
supported LTS versions?

Outdated papercut definition + No real value in having a papercut response
<<Include(SecurityTeam/BugTriage, , from="== Stock Replies ==", to="== Existing Bugs ==")>>
- == Invalid One Hundred Paper Cuts ==
- A Short name could be "Invalid Papercut" / "Invalid ppc"

- ||<tablestyle="background-color: #eee">Thank you for reporting this issue and bringing it to our attention. However, this bug is not a valid paper cut, as a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default or featured applications, that affects many users and is quick and easy to fix.<<BR>>Therefore this bug cannot be addressed as part of the One Hundred Paper Cuts project.<<BR>><<BR>> <explanation why bug is not a papercut><<BR>>For further info about the paper cut criteria, please read <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut>. <<BR>><<BR>>Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "Invalid" ONLY in the One Hundred Paper Cuts project.||

== Added Bugwatch ==
||<tablestyle="background-color: #eee">Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in the upstream bug tracking system this is a tremendous help. Launchpad has the ability to watch lots of upstream bug trackers and this can be done by following the procedure documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Watches. I've added the bug watch for this bug report.||
