Bug#800745: system-config-printer-udev: ppdev printer (HP1100) on parport0 not automatically recognized - manual install is OK

[Claudio Laurita]

Package: system-config-printer-udev
Version: 1.5.7-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
It seams that parallel printers are no more recognized automatically by 
udev rules/systemd service
Following are the journal lines of interest
ott 02 19:06:16 mint13ldme kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found
ott 02 19:06:16 mint13ldme kernel: ppdev: user-space parallel port driver
ott 02 19:06:16 mint13ldme kernel: parport_pc 00:05: reported by Plug 
and Play ACPI
ott 02 19:06:16 mint13ldme kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7

ott 02 19:06:16 mint13ldme kernel: parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard HP 
LaserJet 1100
ott 02 19:06:16 mint13ldme kernel: lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).

When I manually add the printer in the GUI, it is regularly seen and 
correctly installed with the right driver.
So it's only the udev part involved, apparently.

I saw that udev rule is focused only on usb printers, so I wonder if 
it's by design.
I tried to manually run
/lib/udev/udev-configure-printer add /devices/pnp0/00:05/ppdev/parport0
just to see...

ott 02 19:35:10 mint13ldme udev-configure-printer[2341]: add 
/devices/pnp0/00:05/ppdev/parport0
ott 02 19:35:10 mint13ldme udev-configure-printer[2341]: device devpath 
is /devices/pnp0/00:05/ppdev/parport0
ott 02 19:35:10 mint13ldme udev-configure-printer[2341]: Missing sysattr 
idVendor

A quick look at the source of the service helper enforced the feeling 
that parallel devices support has gone.

What am I missing?

Regards
Claudio
