BTW, the company which wrote CUPS was bought by Apple a couple of years ago, so Mac & Linux now have a largely identical print system under the covers. So as a general rule, if you can't find a particular model listed in the openprinting.org database, buy printers that are billed as Mac-compatible. I know HP's low end laser printers sometimes aren't.

The first place to try for this would be hardy's backports. You can enable backports in your software sources, then run update manager to check for updates, then install only the packages with "cups" in their name. Then turn off backports if you don't want lots & lots of packages to update regularly.

Printer Problems in 8.04
Problem #1. How do I delete redundant printers from HH 8.04? Problem #2. Trying to install a new HP P1005 Laser Jet without success. I have tried to follow instructions from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ to no avail. I would like some help please.
