Upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 and trying to get printing to work must be really frustrating for new Ubuntu users. I had to deal with 2 bugs: First was bug #595650 (error message: Printer 'hp-LaserJet3030' may not be connected) related to package libusb. The fix listed worked for me. Second was bug

I'm running 10.04. This problem only started in the last two weeks with me. I noticed one 'update' recently included 'cups' since then its been a problem. Apparently the 'CUPS service is stopped' and has to started via terminal. Initial a 'restart' would get it working but now it never seems

Hi Graham, A fast boot time is not critical for me ( I think that we are only talking of seconds, anyway). In any case, my current boot process with 10.04 involves using several steps in the fail-safe mode, so it is not only slow, but requires my interaction several times. However, I am not an
