Bug Description
Upgraded from intrepid to jaunty today and ever since printing does not work any more.
I tried using both
Samsung ML-2010, SpliX V. 2.0.0 and
Samsung ML-2010, Foomatic/gdi
in both cases the printer state stucks to "Idle - Processing page 2..." although the job is just 1 page and 150k big (it's the test page - other documents are not printed as well).
This bug can be fixed by
1) accessing System -> Administration -> Printing panel
2) deleting the printer (rightclick -> delete)
3) adding the printer via Server -> New -> Printer (or using the New button), then proceeding through the wizard as usual.
Of course the upgrade should be more smooth.
Note that
1) keeping the old printer icon and simply changing the driver (which would supposedly update the driver in use) does NOT provide you with a working printer.
2) deleting the old printer icon and using the plung and play wizard (after you removed the old icon and plug in the usb printer cable a pop up should appear guiding you through the setup) does NOT provide you with a working printer.

I can confirm this bug. However, the workaround described does not work for me. I can add the printer just fine, but any print job gets stuck in "Processing". Deleting the printer and adding it again does not work. Currently, I am still not able to print. I am using a HP-LaserJet-1022.
