I got in another forum this suggestion and after some reboots it works:
I think I have solved my problem - on my system the printserver printing
issue appears to be down to permissions on config files stored on /home.
I have /home on a separate partition from my system and when I upgraded
i simply reformatted the system partition and reinstalled. When you do
this you create a new user, which might be the same username and
password as you used on the old install, but as far as the system is
concerned is different. Consequently your new login can not access the
.XXXXXX configuration files on /home.
Thanks to nelz at linuxformat.co.uk for spotting this. The solution is to run
in the terminal:
sudo chown -R username: ~username
Where username is the username you login with after a restart. You
should reboot after doing this.
I got one error message after doing this. Then I rebooted and still
couldn't print. I rebooted again in gutsy and lost the print ability
there as well. I repeated the chown command in gutsy, rebooted and could
print again. I rebooted in hardy and a miracle happened: The printer
started printing, from Hardy that is.
