I don't know if this helps, but I have had the same problem as described in many other bugs similar to this person. I have a recently updated Ubuntu 9.04 install with a HP LaserJet P1006 printer (USB). I cannot get this to work. It says that it is installed automatically, and sometimes prints a test page, but doesn't work or says communications don't work when attempting to print a page.
I went to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems this is the output of doing what that page asks. mich...@munin:~$ lsb | grep usb bash: lsb: command not found mich...@munin:~$ lsmod | grep usb usblp 20224 0 usbhid 42336 0 usb_storage 82880 0 mich...@munin:~$ tail -f /var/log/messages May 3 12:13:48 Munin kernel: [ 31.956835] Bridge firewalling registered May 3 12:13:52 Munin kernel: [ 35.589709] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP 3.0 bridge May 3 12:13:52 Munin kernel: [ 35.589728] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: putting AGP V3 device into 8x mode May 3 12:13:52 Munin kernel: [ 35.589771] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: putting AGP V3 device into 8x mode May 3 12:13:53 Munin kernel: [ 36.759013] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready May 3 12:13:53 Munin kernel: [ 36.878117] e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX May 3 12:13:53 Munin kernel: [ 36.878320] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready May 3 12:15:09 Munin pulseaudio[3610]: alsa-util.c: Cannot find fallback mixer control "PCM" or mixer control is no combination of switch/volume.
