Bug Description

The web wizard on HPLIP's website[1] indicates:

You have selected Ubuntu 9.10 using the HP LaserJet 2430n Printer.
Ubuntu 9.10 supplies HPLIP 3.9.2 and it does support your printer.
As the version of HPLIP supplied with your operating system supports your printer, you may continue to use that version of HPLIP.
[...]

However, Ubuntu 9.10 comes with HPLIP version 3.9.8:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=hplip&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

Even installing that version does not properly support the printer. Installing 3.9.12, however, properly supports this printer.

I'd suggest changing the wizard so it proposes a manual installation of HPLIP in 9.10 for this kind of printer.
