I installed the Beta of Gutsy and had a similar problem.
It seems that the new tool for automatic installation of printers is
somehow buggy. The printers in some cases are recognised correctly, BUT
they are assigned to a bad device URI. In my case for example ( I own a
HP Deskjet 5940), the printer was given a URI:
"hp:/usb/Deskjet_5900_series?serial=CN5771W0FH047H".
It would only collect jobs, without my being able to delete any of them,
but it would never print! The solution was to use the printer settings
(either on Ubuntu Gutsy: System --> Administration --> Printing or on
Kubuntu Gutsy: Peripherals --> Printers) and make the system search
again for printers on usb ports. Then the printer was given
automatically the correct URI:
"usb://HP/Deskjet%205900%20series?serial=CN5771W0FH047H"
and it started working.
I didn't find a similar comment on launchpad and decided to add mine. I
hope it helps.
