Well, I've found my first fault in 11.0. Several weeks ago I bought two parallel-usb converters for my two old printers -- a Laserjet 5L and a Deskjet 722C. I printed a few test documents while I still had 10.3, and thought nothing more of it. Now I have occasion to print some documents, and I can't make the laserjet 5L work at all. The converter is detected, but not the printer. Here's what lsusb -v says about the converter: Bus 001 Device 011: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc.

I've only found a few google hits that indicate this has always worked under suse. What should I be doing? This just worked under 10.3.
