Exactly the same problem as mark above. My printers are Epson DX3800 and 
Brother HL-1250. Both worked under Feisty. Under Gutsy they are detected and 
set up. Try to print a test page and I get the error "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hal 
failed".
These printers work normally under SUSE 10.3 and MacOSX on the same computer so 
this is down to Ubuntu software or its configuration.
As Mark says it works if I open up permissions on the usb devices but this is 
not the full solution.
Printing is a core function, is this going to be addressed soon?
