Hello, at last I can contribute something to the group responsible for an amazing Distro of Linux....first, excellent excellent job....and I am SO glad to be out of Microsoft!!!!!
Secondly, this is the data collected from an attempt to install an HP Deskjet 3820 through the printer installation menu. Jaunty 'found' my deskjet, and seems to have installed it, however when I clicked on 'print a test page' it just hung up.....the printer brought in a piece of paper, and after several moments it passed it through without printing any characters on the page, I then asked it to diagnose the problem, after several minutes the printer seemed to reset (all lights returning to normal idle status) and the following report was provided....hope this helps someone! Other than this small inconvenience, Jaunty works very well on my older computer (Pentium III Intel Coppermine processor; 512 Meg Ram; approx 900 mhz processor speed)

Also note, before upgrading to 9.04 it worked flawlessly in 8.1 Intrepid.........
Thanks for allowing the opportunity to contribute in a small way,

Addendum to above note:
After reviewing the printer setup again I noticed that:
Although I had selected the HP deskjet 3820 to be installed.
Needless to say, it appears that while I selected the 3820 drivers it installed the 910 drivers instead........I selected "Change" and clicked on the drivers for a 3820 and now the 3820 is identified in Make and Model
A test page has printed successfully, as well as a sentence typed in Open Office.......
I don't know why the driver switch occurred....going to re-boot with this configuration and make sure the settings remain after a reboot.
