Turboprint can not find my printer.

I use the demo version of Turboprint, and a Canon i990 printer
with a usb cable.
I have tried "/dev/usb/lp0" and "/dev/usblp0",
but linux says "Not connected?".
Is there any way to get it working?
I have Ubuntu.

Hello,
which version of Ubuntu do you use? Ubuntu 9.04 should work fine with TurboPrint, with the preliminary version of Ubuntu 9.10 printer setup problems have been reported - see below.
The "URI" in TurboPrint Control should be something like
tpu://Canon/i990
or
tpu://Canon/i990_series
(With the preliminary version of Ubuntu 9.10 printer the "USB" backend should be used instead of the TurboPrint "tpu" backend:
usb://Canon/i990
or
usb://Canon/i990%20series
)
When you add or edit a printer in TurboPrint Control, there should be an entry for your Canon i990 printer in the list.
If this is not the case, you can also find the correct URI by entering the following command line in a Terminal window:
sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/tpu
or for the usb backend
sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb

I used 8,10. I upgraded it, and then it worked fine.
Thank you very much.
