/dev/lp0 doesn't exist after kernel 3.5.0-27

[Chris Mayoros]

On every kernel release since the 3.5.0-27 update, my system will no longer create /dev/lp0 and therefore my printer will not work. Any suggestions?

I'm currently running 12.10, I just installed the 3.5.0-30 kernel update, but have to go back to *-27 instead. Any more info you require, please let me know.

My apologies if not filed on the appropriate package, Launchpad defaulted to the cups package, if needed, let me know and I will re-file.

Just installed the 3.5.0-31 kernel. Same issue. Had to roll back to 3.5.0-27 again.

[Chris Mayoros (cmayoros-x)]

And again, installed the updates to 3.5.0-34, still no parallel port on my computer. Appearantly no one seems to care, almost a month & not a single response.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Moving to the kernel, /dev/lp0 is provided by the kernel and a kernel update made it disappearing.

Per comments from Brad Figg, I have run the apport-collect program and changed the status to confirmed. Thank you for looking into this. Please, any further information needed, let me know & I will respond as quickly as possible.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.10 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Could be a dupe of bug 1190967

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

This is a duplicate of bug 1190967

Can you test the kernel mentioned in comment #15 of that bug? The kernel can be downloaded from:

Sorry for slow response, lots of overtime at work this week, haven't been in front of my computer to try this. Just ran the new kernel, it did not work. Here's the output files I captured, any further info you need, let me know.
