I'd hate to be forced to reinstall the entire system just to get the printing to work.
I removed my printer before I rebooted to the Live CD and when I got back into my desktop I could see that the printer had been automatically installed. It's an EPSON EPL-5900.
When I tried to print a test page to the printer I got a popup a few moments later telling me that EPL-5900 might not be connected.
The web-gui works fine now (maybe after installing the libpam-package or maybe after just rebooting).
As suggested in ubuntu- devel-discuss (https:/ /lists. ubuntu. com/archives/ ubuntu- devel-discuss/ 2008-April/ 003992. html) I tried printing on a 8.04 Live CD. That worked without a hitch. I observed that I didn't have the package libpam-smbpass when using the Live CD.
