Sometimes I need to change the printer driver, but only when a variety of methods do not print. In general, Gutenprint drivers seem more serviceable, but even there you have a list of choices.
Most likely, this problem you describe on Ubuntu will be fixed by an Alternative Printer Command, like lpr -Pyourprinter since this works on Fedora, seemingly without exception. I have a laptop I carry around and use whatever printer I can find, including older and newer inkjets/laserjets, and so far workarounds are of minimal inconvenience. The only problem I have seen with Windows is that when I print at work with a network printer, I have to make sure that I don't have a frame selected, or else the page prints with only that selected frame. It's clearly a phenomenon with the network, since a local printer doesn't have the issue. Greg
