Here is a bit diff, n mayb you are right, it could b the cause of it not
sure. The thing the place is networked and has a great number of PC's.
After an install on the machine, a script is ran to install all basic
packages n software that will b used.So there's a directory with files
that are copied to the local machine, the network is subdivided so it
would be a pain to enter them manually one by one. The section of the
script that does the job for the printer info is something like this
######################################################
echo "====Enter the name of the printer to be installed:==== "
read printerName
echo "<Printer "$printerName">" | sudo tee -a /etc/cups/printers.conf
echo "Info "$printerName | sudo tee -a /etc/cups/printers.conf
echo "DeviceURI lpd://10.0.0.3/"$printerName | sudo tee -a
/etc/cups/printers.conf
echo "State Idle" | sudo tee -a /etc/cups/printers.conf
echo "StateTime 1197963058" | sudo tee -a /etc/cups/printers.conf

echo "</Printer>" | sudo tee -a /etc/cups/printers.conf
echo "============================================="

However this never happened with Ubuntu Hardy, this started once the
switch to Lucid was made.
