Do you have a machine running an older Ubuntu version on which the
printer works? If so, clone your print queue to get one printing into a
file:

cupsctl FileDevice=yes
lpadmin -p tofile -E -v file:/tmp/printout -P /etc/cups/ppd/<original queue>.ppd

Print into this queue (and the same file also into the original queue to
check whether this system really prints). Transfer the resulting
/tmp/printout file to your Ubuntu and Kubuntu 11.10 boxes.

On these boxes send them unfiltered to your printer:

lpr -P <printer> -o raw <file>

Do you get printouts? If yes, the problem is in the driver, if not, the
problem is in the communication between computer and printer.
